Leviticus 25:13-28
American Standard Version

13 In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. 14 And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy of thy neighbor’s hand, ye shall not wrong one another. 15 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee. 16 According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee. 17 And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God.

18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. 19 And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase; 21 then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years. 22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store.

23 And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 25 If thy brother be waxed poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold. 26 And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxed rich and find sufficient to redeem it; 27 then let him reckon the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession. 28 But if he be not able to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

Leviticus 25:13-28
Lexham English Bible

13 “‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you[a] shall return[b] to his property. 14 And when you[c] sell something to your[d] fellow citizen or you buy from your[e] neighbor’s hand, you[f] must not oppress one another.[g] 15 You[h] must buy from your fellow citizen according to the number of years after the Jubilee; he must sell to you according to the number of years of yield. 16 You[i] must increase its price according to a greater number of years,[j] but[k] you must decrease its price according to a lesser number of years,[l] because he is selling its yields to you. 17 And you[m] must not oppress one another,[n] but[o] you[p] shall revere your God, because I am Yahweh, your[q] God.

18 “‘And you[r] shall do my statutes, and you must keep my regulations, and you shall do them, so that[s] you shall live securely[t] on the land. 19 And the land shall give its fruit, and you[u] shall eat your fill,[v] and you shall live securely[w] on it. 20 And if you[x] should say, “What shall we eat in the seventh year, if[y] we do not sow and we do not gather its yield?” 21 then[z] I will command my blessing for you[aa] in the sixth year, so that[ab] it will make[ac] the yield for three years. 22 And you[ad] will sow in the eighth year, and you shall eat from the old yield;[ae] until the ninth year, until the coming of its yield, you shall eat the old yield.

23 “‘But[af] the land must not be sold in[ag] perpetuity, because the land is mine, because you[ah] are aliens and temporary residents with me. 24 And in all your[ai] property’s land you[aj] must provide redemption for the land.

25 “‘When your[ak] brother becomes poor and he sells part of his property, then[al] his nearest redeemer[am] shall come, and he shall redeem the thing sold by his brother. 26 But[an] if[ao] a man does not have[ap] a redeemer, then[aq] he prospers[ar] and he finds enough for his redemption, 27 then[as] he shall calculate the years of its selling, and he shall refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his property. 28 But[at] if his hand does not find enough to refund to him, then[au] what he has sold[av] shall be in the buyer’s hand until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall go out of the buyer’s hand[aw] in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his property.
