Leviticus 25:17-30

¹⁷Let not a man oppress his neighbor, and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord thy God.

¹⁸And ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments; and do ye observe them, and ye shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land.

¹⁹And the land shall yield her increase, and ye shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.

²⁰And if ye should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?

²¹Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.

²²And ye shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, ye shall eat old fruits of the old.

²³And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.

²⁴And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.

²⁵And if thy brother who is with thee be poor, and should have sold part of his possession, and his kinsman who is nigh to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.

²⁶And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, even his ransom;

²⁷then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession.

²⁸But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession.

²⁹And if anyone should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until the time is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.

³⁰And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release.
