Leviticus 25:23-33

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.

25If a man becomes poor, he can sell some of his land. A person from his family must buy the land back for the man.

26But the man might not have any family. If he stops being poor, he can buy the land back.

27He must count how many years until the next Jubilee year. He must pay the right amount of money for the land. Then he can live on the land again.

28If the man is too poor to buy the land back, it will belong to the other person. It will belong to the other person until the next Jubilee year. He must return it to the poor man in the Jubilee year.

29A man may sell a house in a city with walls. For one year after he sells it, he can buy it back.

30If the man does not buy back the house, it will belong to the other person and his sons. It will belong to them for all time. They will not have to return it in the Jubilee year.

31If the house is in a village, a person can buy it back. If he does not buy it back, they will return it to him in the Jubilee year.

32The Levites (people from the family of Levi) can buy back the houses in their towns.

33In the Jubilee year, the Levites must get back the houses that they sold. Their towns belong to the Levites.
