Leviticus 25:13-28 - Release Of Landed Property

¹³ "During this year of jubilee, each person is to return to his own land that he has inherited. ¹⁴ So if you had sold property to a neighbor or had acquired land from your neighbor, you are not to cheat one another. ¹⁵ According to the number of years after the jubilee, you may buy from your neighbor. And according to the number of years with crops, he may sell to you. ¹⁶ If the number of years after the jubilee is more, increase the selling price. If the number of years after the jubilee is few, decrease its selling price, because he's selling to you according to the potential production volume of the land. ¹⁷ No one is to cheat his neighbor. Instead, you are to fear your God, because I am the LORD your God.

¹⁸ "Observe my statutes and keep my ordinances. Do them so that you may live securely in the land. ¹⁹ Then the land will yield its fruit and you'll eat to your satisfaction and live securely. ²⁰ "Now if you ask, "What will we eat during the seventh year? After all, we may not plant or even gather our produce!' ²¹ I'll command my blessing on you during the sixth year so that it will yield produce for three years! ²² That way, you are to sow in the eighth year, eating the produce from the old harvest. Until the ninth year when its produce comes in, you'll eat from the old harvest."

²³ "The land is not to be sold with any finality, because the land belongs to me. You're sojourners and travelers with me. ²⁴ So throughout all of your land inheritance, grant the right of redemption for the land. ²⁵ "If your brother becomes so poor that he has to a sell portion of his inheritance, then his nearest kinsman redeemer is to come and redeem what his brother has sold. ²⁶ If a person doesn't have a kinsman redeemer, but has become rich and found sufficient means for his redemption, ²⁷ then let him account for the years for which it was sold, return the excess to the person to whom it was sold, and then return to his property. ²⁸ If he's not able to redeem it back for himself, then what he sold is to remain in the hand of the buyer until the year of jubilee. In the jubilee, it is to be returned so he may return to his property.
