And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him;

Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused a blemish in his neighbor, so shall it be done to him.

And you shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his own possession, and you shall return every man to his family.

In this year of jubilee you shall return every man to his own possession.

If your brother becomes poor and sells some of his possession, then his nearest kin shall come and redeem that which his brother has sold.

Then let him count the years of the sale thereof and refund the overplus to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession.

But if he cannot afford to pay him back, then that which he sold shall remain secure in the hand of him who has bought it until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.

And if it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be confirmed for ever to him who bought it throughout his generations; it shall not be released in the jubilee.

And if a man purchases of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall be released in the year of jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possessions among the children of Israel.

And if your brother becomes poor and stretches out his hand for help, you shall not look upon him as a stranger or a sojourner; he shall live with you.

And then he shall depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.

After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him;

Either his uncle or his uncles son may redeem him, or any of his near kin belonging to his family may redeem him; or if he can afford it, he may redeem himself.

He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he was sold him to the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him.

If there are still many years remaining, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

And if there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

And if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he and his children with him.

And if it is from sixty years old and up, if it is a male, his valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad, and as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

And if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of the money of its estimation to it, and it shall be his.
