Leviticus 25:13-28

New International Version

¹³ “‘In this Year of Jubilee^(A) everyone is to return to their own property.

¹⁴ “‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.^{(B) 15} You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years^(C) since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops. ¹⁶ When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price,^(D) because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops. ¹⁷ Do not take advantage of each other,^(E) but fear your God.^(F) I am the Lord your God.^(G)

¹⁸ “‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws,^(H) and you will live safely in the land.^{(I) 19} Then the land will yield its fruit,^(J) and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.^{(K) 20} You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year^(L) if we do not plant or harvest our crops?” ²¹ I will send you such a blessing^(M) in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.^{(N) 22} While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.^(O)

²³ “‘The land^(P) must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine^(Q) and you reside in my land as foreigners^(R) and strangers. ²⁴ Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption^(S) of the land.

²⁵ “‘If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative^(T) is to come and redeem^(U) what they have sold. ²⁶ If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper^(V) and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves, ²⁷ they are to determine the value for the years^(W) since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property.^{(X) 28} But if they do not acquire the means to repay, what was sold will remain in the possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. It will be returned^(Y) in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.^(Z)
