Leviticus 25:18-25

¹⁸Obey all my laws DOU carefully. If you do that, you will continue to live safely in your country DOU.

¹⁹And crops will grow well on the land, and you will have plenty to eat.

²⁰But you may ask, ‘If we do not plant or harvest our crops during the seventh year, what will we have to eat?’

²¹My answer is that I will bless you very much during the sixth/previous year, with the result that during that year there will be enough crops to provide food for you for three years!

²²Then, after you plant seed during the eighth/next year and wait for the crops to grow, you will eat the food grown in the sixth year, and continue to eat it until more food is harvested in the ninth year!

²³You must not sell any of your land to belong to someone else permanently, because the land is not yours; it is really mine, and you are only living on it temporarily and ◄farming/taking care of► it for me.

²⁴Throughout the land that you will possess, you must remember that if someone sells some of his land to you, he is permitted to buy it back from you if he wants to.

²⁵So, if one of your fellow Israelis becomes poor and sells some of his property to obtain some money, the person who is most closely related to him is permitted to come and buy that land for him.
