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.
31But the houses in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.
32And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.
33And if anyone shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel.
34And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.
35And if thy brother who is with thee become poor, and he fail in resources with thee, thou shalt help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and thy brother shall live with thee.
36Thou shalt not receive from him interest, nor increase: and thou shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord: and thy brother shall live with thee.
37Thou shalt not lend thy money to him at interest, and thou shalt not lend thy meat to him to be returned with increase.
38I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, so as to be your God.
39And if thy brother by thee be lowered, and be sold to thee, he shall not serve thee with the servitude of a slave.
40He shall be with thee as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for thee till the year of release:
41and he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony.
42Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such a one shall not be sold as a common servant.
