Leviticus 25:13-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 “In this Year of Jubilee, each of you will return to his property. 14 If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, do not cheat(A) one another. 15 You are to make the purchase from your neighbor based on the number of years since the last Jubilee. He is to sell to you based on the number of remaining harvest years. 16 You are to increase its price in proportion to a greater amount of years, and decrease its price in proportion to a lesser amount of years, because what he is selling to you is a number of harvests. 17 You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am Yahweh your God.
18 “You are to keep My statutes and ordinances and carefully observe them, so that you may live securely in the land.(B) 19 Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat, be satisfied, and live securely in the land. 20 If you wonder: ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we don’t sow or gather our produce?’ 21 I will appoint My blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years. 22 When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest. You will be eating this until the ninth year when its harvest comes in.
23 “The land is not to be permanently sold because it is Mine, and you are only foreigners and temporary residents on My land.[a](C) 24 You are to allow the redemption of any land you occupy. 25 If your brother becomes destitute and sells part of his property, his nearest relative may come and redeem what his brother has sold. 26 If a man has no family redeemer, but he prospers[b] and obtains enough to redeem his land, 27 he may calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man he sold it to, and return to his property. 28 But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in the possession of its purchaser until the Year of Jubilee. It is to be released at the Jubilee, so that he may return to his property.

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.
