15. On the basis of the number of years since the last jubilee you shall purchase the land from your neighbor; and so also, on the basis of the number of years of harvest, that person shall sell it to you.
16. When the years are many, the price shall be so much the more; when the years are few, the price shall be so much the less. For it is really the number of harvests that the person sells you.
17. Do not deal unfairly with one another, then; but stand in fear of your God. I, the Lord, am your God.
18. Observe my statutes and be careful to keep my ordinances, so that you will dwell securely in the land.
19. The land will yield its fruit and you will eat your fill, and live there securely.
20. And if you say, “What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we do not sow or reap our crop?”
21. I will command such a blessing for you in the sixth year that there will be crop enough for three years,
22. and when you sow in the eighth year, you will still be eating from the old crop; even into the ninth year, until the crop comes in, you will still be eating from the old crop.
23. The land shall not be sold irrevocably; for the land is mine, and you are but resident aliens and under my authority.
24. Therefore, in every part of the country that you occupy, you must permit the land to be redeemed.
25. When one of your kindred is reduced to poverty and has to sell some property, that person’s closest relative, who has the duty to redeem it, shall come and redeem what the relative has sold.
26. If, however, the person has no relative to redeem it, but later on acquires sufficient means to redeem it,
27. the person shall calculate the years since the sale, return the balance to the one to whom it was sold, and thus regain the property.
28. But if the person does not acquire sufficient means to buy back the land, what was sold shall remain in the possession of the purchaser until the year of the jubilee, when it must be released and returned to the original owner.
29. When someone sells a dwelling in a walled town, it can be redeemed up to a full year after its sale—the redemption period is one year.
30. But if such a house in a walled town has not been redeemed at the end of a full year, it shall belong irrevocably to the purchaser throughout the generations; it shall not be released in the jubilee.
