Leviticus 25:14-31 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

14. And if ye sell ought unto your neighbour, or buy of your neighbour's hand, ye shall not overreach one another.

15. According to the number of years since the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; according to the number of years of the produce, he shall sell unto thee.

16. According to the greater number of the years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for it is the number of crops that he selleth unto thee.

17. And ye shall not oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God for I am Jehovah your God

18. And ye shall do my statutes, and observe mine ordinances and do them: thus shall ye dwell in your land securely.

19. And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat and be satisfied, and dwell therein securely.

20. And if ye say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our produce;

21. then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, that it may bring forth produce for three years;

22. and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat of the old fruit until the ninth year; until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old.

23. And the land shall not be sold for ever; 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 grow poor, and sell of his possession, then shall his redeemer, his nearest relation, come and redeem that which his brother sold.

26. And if the man have no one having right of redemption, and his hand have acquired and found what sufficeth for its redemption,

27. then shall he reckon the years since the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and so return unto his possession.

28. And if his hand have not found what sufficeth for him to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the purchaser, until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

29. And if any one sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he shall have the right of redemption up to the end of the year of the sale thereof; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.

30. But if it be not redeemed until a whole year is complete, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.

31. But the houses in villages that have no wall round about them shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
