Leviticus 25:11-28

¹¹a year of jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap its aftergrowth, nor gather the fruit of its undressed vines.

¹²For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; out of the field shall ye eat its produce.

¹³In this year of the jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

¹⁴And if ye sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy of your neighbour's hand, ye shall not overreach one another.

¹⁵According to the number of years since the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; according to the number of years of the produce, he shall sell unto thee.

¹⁶According to the greater number of the years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for it is the number of crops that he selleth unto thee.

¹⁷And ye shall not oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am Jehovah your God.

¹⁸And ye shall do my statutes, and observe mine ordinances and do them: thus shall ye dwell in your land securely.

¹⁹And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely.

²⁰And if ye say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our produce;

²¹then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years;

²²and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat of the old fruit until the ninth year; until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old.

²³And the land shall not be sold for ever; for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

²⁴And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

²⁵If thy brother grow poor, and sell of his possession, then shall his redeemer, his nearest relation, come and redeem that which his brother sold.

²⁶And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption,

²⁷then shall he reckon the years since the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so return unto his possession.

²⁸And if his hand have not found what sufficeth for him to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the purchaser, until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
