Leviticus 25:20-28 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. ‘And since you might say, “What do we eat in the seventh year, since we do not sow nor gather in our crops?”

21. ‘Therefore I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth the crop for three years.

22. ‘And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat of the old crop until the ninth year. Eat of the old until its crop comes in.

23. ‘And the land is not to be sold beyond reclaim, for the land is Mine, for you are sojourners and settlers with Me.

24. ‘And provide for a redemption for the land, in all the land of your possession.

25. ‘When your brother becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and his redeemer, a close relative comes to redeem it, then he shall redeem what his brother sold.

26. ‘And when the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it,

27. then let him count the years since its sale, and return the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he shall return to his possession.

28. ‘And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee. And it shall be released in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his possession.
