Leviticus 25:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.

22 While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.

23 The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.

24 Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.

25 If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
