Leviticus 25:19-28

19Then the land will yield its produce, so that you can eat your fill and live securely on it. 20But if you say, “1What are we going to eat on the seventh year 2if we do not sow or gather in our crops?” 21then 3I will so order My blessing for you in the sixth year that it will bring forth the crop for three years. 22When you are sowing the eighth year, you can still eat 4old things from the crop, eating the old until the ninth year when its crop comes in.

23‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for 5the land is Mine; for 6you are but aliens and sojourners with Me. 24Thus for every 7piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.

25‘8If a 9fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor he has to sell part of his property, then his nearest kinsman is to come and buy back what his 10relative has sold. 26Or in case a man has no kinsman, but so 11recovers his means as to find sufficient for its redemption, 2712then he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his property. 28But if 13he has not found sufficient means to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hands of its purchaser until the year of jubilee; but at the jubilee it shall 14revert, that 15he may return to his property.
