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 in the seventh year if we do not sow nor gather in our produce?” 21then 2I will so order My blessing for you in the sixth year that it will bring forth the produce for three years. 22When you are sowing the eighth year, you can still eat 3old things from the produce, eating the old until the ninth year when its produce comes in.

23‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, because 4the land is Mine; for 5you are only strangers and residents with Me. 24So for every 6piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.

25‘7If a fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor that he sells part of his property, then his closest 8redeemer is to come and buy back what his relative has sold. 26Or in case someone has no redeemer, but 9recovers to find sufficient means for its redemption, 2710then 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 11he 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 12revert, so that 13he may return to his property.
