Leviticus 25:13-28

13In this yearH8141 of jubileeH3104 ye shall returnH7725 every manH376 unto his possessionH272. 14And if thou sellH4376 aught unto thy neighbor, or buyH7069 of thy neighbor’s handH3027, ye shall not wrong oneH376 another. 15According to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 after the jubileeH3104 thou shalt buyH7069 of thy neighbor, and according unto the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of the crops he shall sellH4376 unto thee. 16According to the multitudeH7230 of the yearsH8141 thou shalt increaseH7235 the priceH4736 thereof, and according to the fewness of the yearsH8141 thou shalt diminishH4591 the priceH4736 of it; for the numberH4557 of the crops doth he sellH4376 unto thee. 17And ye shall not wrong oneH376 another; but thou shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430: for I am Jehovah your GodH430.

18Wherefore ye shall do my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 mine ordinancesH4941 and do them; and ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 in safety. 19And the landH776 shall yield its fruitH6529, and ye shall eatH398 your fill, and dwellH3427 therein in safety. 20And if ye shall sayH559, What shall we eatH398 the seventhH7637 yearH8141? behold, we shall not sowH2232, nor gatherH622 in our increase; 21then I will commandH6680 my blessingH1293 upon you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, and it shall bring forth fruit for the threeH7969 yearsH8141. 22And ye shall sowH2232 the eighthH8066 yearH8141, and eatH398 of the fruits, the oldH3465 store; until the ninthH8671 yearH8141, until its fruits comeH935 in, ye shall eatH398 the oldH3465 store.

23And the landH776 shall not be soldH4376 in perpetuity; for the landH776 is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 24And in all the landH776 of your possessionH272 ye shall grant a redemptionH1353 for the landH776. 25If thy brotherH251 be waxed poor, and sellH4376 some of his possessionH272, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him comeH935, and shall redeemH1350 that which his brotherH251 hath soldH4376. 26And if a manH376 have no oneH376 to redeemH1350 it, and he beH1961 waxed rich and findH4672 sufficient to redeemH1350 it; 27then let him reckon the yearsH8141 of the saleH4465 thereof, and restoreH7725 the overplus unto the manH376 to whom he soldH4376 it; and he shall returnH7725 unto his possessionH272. 28But if he beH1961 not able to get it backH7725 for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the handH3027 of him that hath boughtH7069 it until the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104: and in the jubileeH3104 it shall goH3318 out, and he shall returnH7725 unto his possessionH272.
