Leviticus 25:13-34
13‘1On thisH2088 yearH8141 of jubileeH3104 eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his own propertyH272. 14IfH3588 you makeH4376 a saleH4465, moreover, to your friendH5997 orH176 buyH7069 from your friend’sH5997 handH3027, 2you shall not wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH251. 15Corresponding to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 afterH310 the jubileeH3104, you shall buyH7069 from your 3friendH5997; he is to sellH4376 to you according to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of cropsH8393. 164In proportionH6310 to the 5extentH7230 of the yearsH8141 you shall increaseH7235 its priceH4736, and in proportionH6310 to the fewnessH4591 of the yearsH8141 you shall diminishH4591 its priceH4736, for it is a numberH4557 of cropsH8393 he is sellingH4376 to you. 17So 6you shall not wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH5997, but you shall 7fearH3372 your GodH430; for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.
18‘You shall thus observeH6213 My statutesH2708 and keepH8104 My judgmentsH4941, so as to carryH6213 them out, that 8you may liveH3427 securelyH983 on the landH776. 19Then the landH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH6529, so that you can eatH398 your fillH7648 and liveH3427 securelyH983 on it. 20But ifH3588 you sayH559, “9WhatH4100 are we going to eatH398 on the seventhH7637 yearH8141 10ifH2005 we do not sowH2232 or gatherH622 in our cropsH8393?” 21then 11I will so orderH6680 My blessingH1293 for you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141 that it will bringH6213 forthH6213 the cropH8393 for threeH7969 yearsH8141. 22When you are sowingH2232 the eighthH8066 yearH8141, you can still eatH398 12oldH3465 thingsH3465 from the cropH8393, eatingH398 the old untilH5704 the ninthH8671 yearH8141 whenH5704 its cropH8393 comesH935 in.
23‘The landH776, moreover, shall not be soldH4376 permanentlyH6783, for 13the landH776 is Mine; for 14you are but aliensH1616 and sojournersH8453 with Me. 24Thus for everyH3605 15pieceH776 of your propertyH272, you are to provideH5414 for the redemptionH1353 of the landH776.
25‘16IfH3588 a 17fellowH251 countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 he has to sellH4376 part of his propertyH272, then his nearestH7138 kinsmanH1350 is to comeH935 and buyH1350 backH1350 whatH4465 his 18relativeH251 has soldH4465. 26Or in caseH3588 a manH376 hasH1961 noH3808 kinsmanH1350, but so 19recoversH5381 his meansH3027 as to findH4672 sufficientH1767 for its redemptionH1353, 2720then he shall calculateH2803 the yearsH8141 since its saleH4465 and refundH7725 the balanceH5736 to the manH376 to whomH834 he soldH4376 it, and so returnH7725 to his propertyH272. 28But ifH518 21he has not foundH4672 sufficientH1767 meansH3027 to getH7725 it backH7725 for himself, then whatH4465 he has soldH4465 shall remainH1961 in the handsH3027 of its purchaserH7069 untilH5704 the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104; but at the jubileeH3104 it shall 22revertH3318, that 23he may returnH7725 to his propertyH272.
29‘Likewise, ifH3588 a manH376 sellsH4376 a dwellingH4186 houseH1004 in a walledH2346 cityH5892, then his redemptionH1353 rightH1353 remainsH1961 valid untilH5704 a fullH8552 yearH8141 from its saleH4465; his rightH1353 of redemptionH1353 lastsH1961 a fullH3117 yearH3117. 30But ifH518 it is not boughtH1350 backH1350 for him withinH5704 the spaceH4390 of a fullH8549 yearH8141, then the houseH1004 that is in the walledH2346 cityH5892 passesH6965 permanentlyH6783 to its purchaserH7069 throughout his generationsH1755; it does not 24revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 31The housesH1004 of the villagesH2691, however, whichH834 haveH369 noH369 surroundingH5439 wallH2346 shall be consideredH2803 25as openH776 fieldsH7704; they haveH1961 redemptionH1353 rightsH1353 and 26revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 32As for 27citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the LevitesH3881 haveH1961 a permanentH5769 rightH1353 of redemptionH1353 for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 which are their possessionH272. 33WhatH834, therefore, 28belongsH4480 to the LevitesH3881 may be redeemedH1350 and a houseH1004 saleH4465 29in the cityH5892 of this possessionH272 30revertsH3318 in the jubileeH3104, for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 3431But pastureH4054 fieldsH7704 of their citiesH5892 shall not be soldH4376, for that is their perpetualH5769 possessionH272.
