Leviticus 25:23-28

²³Also the lond schal not be seeld `in to with outen ende, for it is myn, and ye ben my comelyngis and tenauntis;

²⁴wherfor al the cuntre of youre possessioun schal be seeld vndur the condicioun of ayenbiyng.

²⁵If thi brother is maad pore, and sillith his litil possessioun, and his nyy kynesman wole, he may ayenbie that that he seelde;

²⁶sotheli if he hath no nyy kynesman, and he may fynde prijs to ayenbie,

²⁷the fruytis schulen be rekynyd fro that tyme in which he seelde, and he schal yelde `that that is residue to the biere, and he schal resseyue so his possessioun.

²⁸That if his hond fynde not, that he yelde the prijs, the biere schal haue that that he bouyte, `til to the yeer of iubilee; for in that yeer ech sillyng schal go ayen to the lord, and to the firste weldere.
