Leviticus 25:15-33 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

15. According to the number of years after the jubilee you shall buy of your neighbor, and according unto the number of years of crops he shall sell unto you:

16. According to the multitude of years you shall increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of crops does he sell unto you.

17. You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.

18. Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

19. And the land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

20. And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

21. Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

22. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until its new fruits come in you shall eat of the old fruit.

23. The land shall not be sold forever: for the land is mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with me.

24. And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.

25. If your brother becomes poor, and has sold

26. And if the man has none to redeem it, but he becomes able to redeem it;

27. Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overpayment unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

28. But if he is not able to restore it to himself, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return unto his possession.

29. And if a man sells 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.

30. And if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not be released in the jubilee.

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 be released in the jubilee.

32. Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

33. And if a man purchases a house from 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 of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
