赎回土地的条例

23 “你们不可永远卖掉土地,因为土地是我的,你们只不过是寄居在那片土地上的过客。 24 你们购买每一块土地时,都必须让原主保留赎回的权利。 25 如果有人因贫穷而卖掉土地,他的近亲要把卖掉的土地赎回来。 26 如果无人为他赎回,而他自己渐渐富裕起来,有能力赎回, 27 他要计算卖掉土地的年数,退还距下个禧年所剩年数的地价,便可以赎回自己的土地。 28 如果他没有能力赎回,所卖的土地在禧年之前要属于买主。到了禧年,买主必须把土地归还原主。

It will be returned(J) in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.(K)
