Leviticus 25:18-25 God's Word Translation (GW)

18. “Obey my laws, and carefully follow my rules. Then you will live securely in the land.

19. The land will give you its products, and you will eat all you want and live there securely.

20. You may ask, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or bring in our crops?’

21. I will give you my blessing in the sixth year so that the land will produce enough for three years.

22. You will plant ⌊again⌋ in the eighth year but live on what the land already produced. You will eat it, even in the ninth year, until the land produces more.

23. “Land must never be sold permanently, because the land is mine. To me you are strangers without permanent homes.

24. People must always have the right to buy their property back.

25. If your brother becomes poor and sells some of his property, then the one who can assume responsibility, his nearest relative, must buy back what he sold.
