025:018 "'Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances
and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
025:019 The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill,
and dwell therein in safety.
025:020 If you said, "What shall we eat the seventh year?
Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;"
025:021 then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year,
and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.
025:022 You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits,
the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in,
you shall eat the old store.
025:023 "'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine;
for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
025:024 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption
for the land.
025:025 "'If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions,
then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem
that which his brother has sold.
025:026 If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous
and finds sufficient means to redeem it;
025:027 then let him reckon the years since the sale of it,
and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it;
and he shall return to his property.
025:028 But if he isn't able to get it back for himself, then what he has
sold shall remain 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 property.
025:029 "'If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may
redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold.
For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.
025:030 If it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year,
then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure
in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations.
It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
025:031 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round
about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country:
they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
025:032 "'Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities
of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.
025:033 The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city
of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee;
for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession
among the children of Israel.
025:034 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold;
for it is their perpetual possession.
025:035 "'If your brother has become poor, and his hand can't
support him among you; then you shall uphold him.
As a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you.
