New Testament

Leviticus 25:15-25 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.

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.

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.
