25:18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do
them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
25:19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill,
and dwell therein in safety.
25:20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold,
we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
25:21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it
shall bring forth fruit for three years.
25:22 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.
25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye
are strangers and sojourners with me.
25:24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption
for the land.
25:25 If thy brother be waxen 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.
25:26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to
redeem it;
25:27 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.
25:28 But if he be 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 jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto
his possession.
25:29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may
redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may
he redeem it.
25:30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then
the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to
him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in
the jubile.
25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them
shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and
they shall go out in the jubile.
25:32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the
cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
25:33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was
sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of
jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession
among the children of Israel.
25:34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for
it is their perpetual possession.
25:35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee;
then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a
sojourner; that he may live with thee.
25:36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy
brother may live with thee.
25:37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy
victuals for increase.
25:38 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of
Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
