Vayikra 25:20-28 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

20. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat in the shanah hashevi'it? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our tevuah;

21. Then I will command Birkhati (My Blessing) upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth the tevuah for shalosh hashanim.

22. And ye shall sow the shanah hasheminit, and eat yet of tevuah yashan (old increase) until the ninth year; until her harvest come in, ye shall eat of the yashan (old).

23. HaAretz shall not be sold permanently: for HaAretz is Mine, for ye are gerim and toshavim with Me.

24. And in all the eretz of your possession ye shall grant a Geulah for HaAretz.

25. If thy brother become poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and his Go'el HaKarov (Near Kinsman Redeemer) come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

26. And if the man does not have for him a Go'el, and himself be able to effect the Geulah,

27. Then let him count the shanim from the sale thereof, and refund the balance unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

28. But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the Shnat HaYovel; and in the Yovel it shall be returned, and he shall return unto his possession.
