19And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat until ye have enough, and dwell therein in safety.
20And if ye shall say: 'What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our increase';
21then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth produce for the three years.
22And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the produce, the old store; until the ninth year, until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old store.
23And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for ye are strangers and settlers with Me.
24And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25If thy brother be waxen poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.
26And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxen rich and find sufficient means to redeem it;
27then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession.
28But if he have not sufficient means to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
29And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.
30And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee.
31But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
32But as for the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.
33And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
