In the year of jubilee you shall return each one to his possession.

And if you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from the hand of your neighbor, you shall not each man oppress his brother.

By the number of years after the jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor; by the number of the years of increase he shall sell to you;

according to the many years you shall increase its price; and by the fewness of the years you shall diminish its price, for he is selling to you the number of crops.

And you shall not oppress each man his neighbor, and you shall fear your God, for I am Jehovah your God.

And you shall do My statutes, and you shall keep my judgments and shall do them; and you shall live on the land securely.

And the land shall give its fruit, and you shall eat to satisfaction; and you shall dwell securely on it.

And when you say, What shall we eat in the seventh year; for, lo, we may not sow nor gather our increase?

Then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall produce the increase for three years;

and you shall sow the eighth year, and shall eat of the old crop until the ninth year, until the coming in of its crop; you shall eat of the old.

And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for you are aliens and tenants with Me.

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

If your brother has become poor and has sold his property, then comes one to redeem, a relative of him, and he redeems the thing sold by his brother.

But a man, when there is not one to redeem him, and his own hand has reached out, and he has enough for its redemption,

then he shall count the years since its sale, and shall give back the surplus to the man to whom he sold; and he shall return to his possession.

And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then the thing he sold shall be in the hand of him who buys it until the year of jubilee. And it shall go out in the jubilee, and he shall return to his possession.
