Leviticus 25:13-34

13‘1On thisH2088 yearH8141 of jubileeH3104 eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his own propertyH272. 14Furthermore, ifH3588 you makeH4376 a saleH4465 to your friendH5997, orH176 buyH7069 from your friend’sH5997 handH3027, 2you shall not 3wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH251. 15Corresponding to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 afterH310 the jubileeH3104, you shall buyH7069 from your 4friendH5997; he is to sellH4376 to you according to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of cropsH8393. 16 5In proportionH6310 to 6a greaterH7230 numberH7230 of yearsH8141 you shall increaseH7235 its priceH4736, and in proportionH6310 to 7fewerH4591 yearsH8141 you shall decreaseH4591 its priceH4736, because it is the numberH4557 of cropsH8393 that he is sellingH4376 to you. 17So 8you shall not 9wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH5997, but you shall 10fearH3372 your GodH430; for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.

18‘You shall therefore 11followH6213 My statutesH2708 and keepH8104 My judgmentsH4941 so as to carryH6213 them outH6213, so that 12you 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, “13WhatH4100 are we going to eatH398 in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 ifH2005 we do not sowH2232 nor gatherH622 inH622 our produceH8393?” 21then 14I will so orderH6680 My blessingH1293 for you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141 that it will bringH6213 forthH6213 the produceH8393 for threeH7969 yearsH8141. 22When you are sowingH2232 the eighthH8066 yearH8141, you can still eatH398 15oldH3465 thingsH3465 from the produceH8393, eatingH398 the old untilH5704 the ninthH8671 yearH8141 whenH5704 its produceH8393 comesH935 inH935.

23‘The landH776, moreover, shall not be soldH4376 permanentlyH6783, becauseH3588 16the landH776 is Mine; for 17you are only strangersH1616 and residentsH8453 with Me. 24So for everyH3605 18pieceH776 of your propertyH272, you are to provideH5414 for the redemptionH1353 of the landH776.

25‘19IfH3588 a fellowH251 countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 that he sellsH4376 part of his propertyH272, then his closestH7138 20redeemerH1350 is to comeH935 and buyH1350 backH1350 whatH4465 his relativeH251 has soldH4465. 26Or inH3588 caseH3588 someoneH376 hasH1961 noH3808 redeemerH1350, but 21recoversH3027 H5381 to findH4672 sufficientH1767 meansH1767 for its redemptionH1353, 27 22then 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 23he 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 24revertH3318, so that 25he 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 afterH4480 its saleH4465; his rightH1353 ofH1353 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 26revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 31The housesH1004 of the villagesH2691, however, whichH834 haveH369 noH369 surroundingH5439 wallH2346, shall be regardedH2803 27as openH776 fieldsH7704; they haveH1961 redemptionH1353 rightsH1353 and 28revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 32As for the 29citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the LevitesH3881 haveH1961 a permanentH5769 rightH1353 ofH1353 redemptionH1353 for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 which are their possessionH272. 33WhatH834, therefore, 30belongsH4480 to the LevitesH3881 may be redeemedH1350, and a houseH1004 saleH4465 31in the cityH5892 of this possessionH272 32revertsH3318 in the jubileeH3104, becauseH3588 the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 34 33But pastureH4054 fieldsH7704 of their citiesH5892 shall not be soldH4376, for that is their permanentH5769 possessionH272.
