Leviticus 25:24-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

24. And in all your property’s land you must provide redemption for the land.

25. “ ‘When your brother becomes poor and he sells part of his property, then his nearest redeemer shall come, and he shall redeem the thing sold by his brother.

26. But if a man does not have a redeemer, then he prospers and he finds enough for his redemption,

27. then he shall calculate the years of its selling, and he shall refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his property.

28. But if his hand does not find enough to refund to him, then what he has sold shall be in the buyer’s hand until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his property.

29. “ ‘And if a man sells a residential house in a walled city, then it shall be his redemption until completing a year after his selling; its redemption shall last a year.

30. But if it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, then the house that is in the walled city shall belong to the buyer in perpetuity throughout his generations; it shall not go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee.

31. However, village houses that have no surrounding wall shall be considered open country; there is redemption for it, and in the Jubilee it shall go out of the buyer’s hand.
