Leviticus 25:23-28

23‘The landH776, moreover, shall not be soldH4376 permanentlyH6783, for 1the landH776 is Mine; for 2you are but aliensH1616 and sojournersH8453 with Me. 24Thus for everyH3605 3pieceH776 of your propertyH272, you are to provideH5414 for the redemptionH1353 of the landH776.

25‘4IfH3588 a 5fellowH251 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 6relativeH251 has soldH4465. 26Or in caseH3588 a manH376 hasH1961 noH3808 kinsmanH1350, but so 7recoversH5381 his meansH3027 as to findH4672 sufficientH1767 for its redemptionH1353, 27 8then 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 9he 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 10revertH3318, that 11he may returnH7725 to his propertyH272.
