Context of Leviticus 25:24
22When 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. A 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.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-34Verses 23-34 If the land were not redeemed before the year of jubilee, it then returned to him that sold or mortgaged it.
