Leviticus 25:16-30

¹⁶According to the multitude of years shalt thou increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years shalt thou diminish the price thereof; for a number of harvests doth he sell unto thee.

¹⁷And ye shall not overreach one the other; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God; for I am the Lord your God.

¹⁸And ye shall do my statutes, and my ordinances shall ye keep and do them; and then shall ye dwell in the land in safety.

¹⁹And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in safety therein.

²⁰And if ye should say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we are not permitted to sow, and we cannot gather in our harvest:

²¹Then will I command my blessing unto you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth a harvest for three years.

²²And when ye sow in the eighth year, then shall ye eat yet of the old harvest; until the ninth year, until its harvest come in, shall ye eat of the old store.

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

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

²⁵If thy brother become poor, and sell away some of his possession: then may his nearest of kin come and redeem what his brother hath sold.

²⁶And if the man have none to redeem it, and he acquire the means, sufficient to be able to redeem it himself:

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

²⁸But if his means do not suffice to enable him to restore it to him: then shall that which he hath sold remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of the jubilee; and it shall be freed in the jubilee, and he shall return unto his possession.

²⁹And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city: then shall the time of redemption last till the end of the year of his sale; a full year shall his time of redemption last.

³⁰And if it be not redeemed within the expiration of a full year: then shall the house which is in the walled city remain as a permanence to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not become freed in the jubilee.
