Leviticus 25:13-28

New King James Version

¹³^(A)‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession. ¹⁴And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not ^(B)oppress one another. ¹⁵^(C)According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he shall sell to you. ¹⁶According to the multitude of years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops. ¹⁷Therefore ^(D)you shall not ^[a]oppress one another, ^(E)but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.

Provisions for the Seventh Year

¹⁸^(F)‘So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform them; ^(G)and you will dwell in the land in safety. ¹⁹Then the land will yield its fruit, and ^(H)you will eat your fill, and dwell there in safety.

²⁰‘And if you say, ^(I)“What shall we eat in the seventh year, since ^(J)we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?” ²¹Then I will ^(K)command My blessing on you in the ^(L)sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years. ²²^(M)And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat ^(N)old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat of the old harvest.

Redemption of Property

²³‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for ^(O)the land is Mine; for you are ^(P)strangers and sojourners with Me. ²⁴And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land.

²⁵^(Q)‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if ^(R)his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold. ²⁶Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it, ²⁷then ^(S)let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession. ²⁸But if he is not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; ^(T)and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.
