Leviticus 25:12-16

Living Bible

¹² for it is a holy Year of Jubilee for you. That year your food shall be the volunteer crops that grow wild in the fields. ¹³ Yes, during the Year of Jubilee everyone shall return home to his original family possession; if he has sold it, it shall be his again! ^14-16 Because of this, if the land is sold or bought during the preceding forty-nine years, a fair price shall be arrived at by counting the number of years until the Jubilee. If the Jubilee is many years away, the price will be high; if few years, the price will be low; for what you are really doing is selling the number of crops the new owner will get from the land before it is returned to you.
