Context of Leviticus 25:22

20The people may ask what they will eat in the seventh year. They will not have planted any seeds. 21God will cause a lot of food to grow in the sixth year. They will have food for three more years. When a person plants seed in the eighth year he will still be eating the crops that he planted in the sixth year. The next time he will harvest the plants from the fields will be in the ninth year. 23The people must never sell the land for all time. The land belongs to God. He has said that the people can live on it. 24A person may buy land. But he must remember that he may have to sell it back to the seller.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 21-2221-22. I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years, &c.--A provision was made, by the special interposition of God, to supply the deficiency of food which would otherwise have resulted from the suspension of all labor during the sabbatic year.
