Leviticus 25:13–28
13 “ ‘In this Year of Jubilee ⌊each of youc shall return⌋d to his property. 14 And when youe sell something to yourf fellow citizen or you buy from yourg neighbor’s hand, youh must not oppress ⌊one another⌋.i 15 Youj must buy from your fellow citizen according to the number of years after the Jubilee; he must sell to you according to the number of years of yield. 16 Youk must increase its price ⌊according to a greater number of years⌋,l butm you must decrease its price ⌊according to a lesser number of years⌋,n because he is selling its yields to you. 17 And youo must not oppress ⌊one another⌋,p butq your shall revere your God, because I am Yahweh, yours God.
18 “ ‘And yout shall do my statutes, and you must keep my regulations, and you shall do them, so thatu you shall live ⌊securely⌋v on the land. 19 And the land shall give its fruit, and youw shall eat ⌊your fill⌋,x and you shall live ⌊securely⌋y on it. 20 And if youz should say, “What shall we eat in the seventh year, ⌊if⌋a we do not sow and we do not gather its yield?” 21 thenb I will command my blessing for youc in the sixth year, so thatd it will makee the yield for three years. 22 And youf will sow in the eighth year, and you shall eat from the old yield;g until the ninth year, until the coming of its yield, you shall eat the old yield.
23 “ ‘Buth the land must not be sold ini perpetuity, because the land is mine, because youj are aliens and temporary residents with me. 24 And in all yourk property’s land youl must provide redemption for the land.
25 “ ‘When yourm brother becomes poor and he sells part of his property, thenn ⌊his nearest redeemer⌋o shall come, and he shall redeem the thing sold by his brother. 26 Butp ifq a man ⌊does not have⌋r a redeemer, thens ⌊he prospers⌋t and he finds enough for his redemption, 27 thenu he shall calculate the years of its selling, and he shall refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his property. 28 Butv if his hand does not find enough to refund to him, thenw ⌊what he has sold⌋x shall be in the buyer’s hand until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall go out of the buyer’s handy in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his property.
