Leviticus 25:12-19 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

12. The whole year shall be sacred for you; you shall eat only what the fields produce of themselves.

13. In this year all property that has been sold shall be restored to its original owner.

14. So when you sell land to your fellow-Israelite or buy land from him, do not deal unfairly.

15. The price is to be fixed according to the number of years the land can produce crops before the next Year of Restoration.

16. If there are many years, the price shall be higher, but if there are only a few years, the price shall be lower, because what is being sold is the number of crops the land can produce.

17. Do not cheat a fellow-Israelite, but obey the Lord your God.

18. Obey all the Lord's laws and commands, so that you may live in safety in the land.

19. The land will produce its crops, and you will have all you want to eat and will live in safety.
