Leviticus 25:18-27

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ “You are to keep my statutes and ordinances and carefully observe them, so that you may live securely in the land.^{(A) 19} Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat, be satisfied, and live securely in the land. ²⁰ If you wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we don’t sow or gather our produce?’ ²¹ I will appoint my blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years. ²² When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest. You will be eating this until the ninth year when its harvest comes in.

²³ “The land is not to be permanently sold because it is mine, and you are only aliens and temporary residents on my land.^{[a](B) 24} You are to allow the redemption of any land you occupy. ²⁵ If your brother becomes destitute and sells part of his property, his nearest relative may come and redeem what his brother has sold. ²⁶ If a man has no family redeemer, but he prospers^[b] and obtains enough to redeem his land, ²⁷ he may calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man he sold it to, and return to his property.
