15. ‘According to the number of years after the Jubilee you buy from your neighbour, and according to the number of years of crops he sells to you.

16. ‘According to the greater number of years you increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you diminish its price, because he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops.

17. ‘And do not oppress one another, but you shall fear your Elohim. For I am יהוה your Elohim.

18. ‘And you shall do My laws and guard My right-rulings, and shall do them. And you shall dwell in the land in safety,

19. ‘and the land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat to satisfaction, and shall dwell there in safety.

20. ‘And since you might say, “What do we eat in the seventh year, since we do not sow nor gather in our crops?”

21. ‘Therefore I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth the crop for three years.

22. ‘And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat of the old crop until the ninth year. Eat of the old until its crop comes in.

23. ‘And the land is not to be sold beyond reclaim, for the land is Mine, for you are sojourners and settlers with Me.

24. ‘And provide for a redemption for the land, in all the land of your possession.

25. ‘When your brother becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and his redeemer, a close relative comes to redeem it, then he shall redeem what his brother sold.
