Leviticus 25:19-28

19Then the land will yield its fruit, and you may eat your fill and live there in safety.

20Now if you ask: What are we to eat during the seventh year if, see, we are not to sow, nor gather in our increase?

21Now I will command My blessing to you in the sixth year, so that it will yield a harvest sufficient for three years.

22When you sow during the eighth year, you will still be eating the old, stored harvest until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.

23“Moreover, the land is not to be sold ­permanently, because the land is Mine. For you are sojourners with Me.

24For any land you possess, you are to provide for redemption of the land.

25“If your brother becomes poor and sells some of his property, then his nearest kinsman may come and redeem what his brother has sold.

26If a man has no kinsman-redeemer, but he himself recovers and finds sufficient means to redeem it,

27then let him reckon the years since its sale and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it. Then he will return to his property.

28But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold is to remain in the hand of the one who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee. Then in the Jubilee it shall be released, so he may return to his property.
