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.
