New Testament

Leviticus 25:20-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. But if you will say: What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we do not sow and do not gather our produce?

21. I will give my blessing to you in the sixth year, and it shall yield the produce of three years.

22. And in the eighth year you shall sow, but you shall eat from the old produce, until the ninth year, until what is new matures, you shall eat what is old.

23. Also, the land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for it is mine, and you are newcomers and settlers to me.

24. Therefore, every region of your possession shall be sold under the condition of redemption.

25. If your brother, being in need, will have sold his little possession and his close relative is willing, he is able to redeem what he had sold.

26. But if he has no near relative, and he himself is able to find the price to redeem it,

27. the produce shall be calculated from that time when he sold it. And what is lacking, he shall repay to the buyer, and so he shall receive his possession.

28. But if his hand will not have discovered a way to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the Jubilee. For in that year all that has been sold shall return to the owner, and to the original possessor.
