Leviticus 25:23-28

23‘The landH776, moreover, shall not be soldH4376 permanentlyH6783, becauseH3588 1the landH776 is Mine; for 2you are only strangersH1616 and residentsH8453 with Me. 24So for everyH3605 3pieceH776 of your propertyH272, you are to provideH5414 for the redemptionH1353 of the landH776.

25‘4IfH3588 a fellowH251 countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 that he sellsH4376 part of his propertyH272, then his closestH7138 5redeemerH1350 is to comeH935 and buyH1350 backH1350 whatH4465 his relativeH251 has soldH4465. 26Or inH3588 caseH3588 someoneH376 hasH1961 noH3808 redeemerH1350, but 6recoversH3027 H5381 to findH4672 sufficientH1767 meansH1767 for its redemptionH1353, 27 7then 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 8he 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 9revertH3318, so that 10he may returnH7725 to his propertyH272.
