Leviticus 25:23-28

23‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, because 1the land is Mine; for 2you are only strangers and residents with Me. 24So for every 3piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.

25‘4If a fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor that he sells part of his property, then his closest 5redeemer is to come and buy back what his relative has sold. 26Or in case someone has no redeemer, but 6recovers to find sufficient means for its redemption, 27 7then 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 8he 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 9revert, so that 10he may return to his property.
