Leviticus 25:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵A person in your country might become very poor. He might be so poor that he must sell his land. So his close relatives must come and buy it back for him. ²⁶A person might not have a close relative to buy back his land for him. But he might get enough money to buy it back himself. ²⁷He must count the years since the land was sold. He must use that number to decide how much to pay for the land. Then he may buy it back. And the land will be his again.
