Leviticus 25:13-28

21st Century King James Version

¹³ “‘In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

¹⁴ And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor or buyest aught of thy neighbor’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another.

¹⁵ According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy from thy neighbor, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee.

¹⁶ According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

¹⁷ Ye shall not therefore oppress one another, but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am the Lord your God.

¹⁸ “‘Therefore ye shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

¹⁹ And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill and dwell therein in safety.

²⁰ And if ye shall say, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase.”

²¹ Then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

²² And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

²³ The land shall not be sold for ever, for the land is Mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with Me.

²⁴ And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

²⁵ “‘If thy brother waxeth poor and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

²⁶ And if the man have none to redeem it, and he himself is able to redeem it,

²⁷ then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it, that he may return unto his possession.

²⁸ But if he is 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 Year of Jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
