Leviticus 25:23-28 ▼

23 ‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are but sojourners and foreign residents with Me.

24 Thus for every piece of land of your possession, you shall provide for the redemption of the land.

25 ‘If a brother of yours becomes so poor he has to sell part of his possession of land, then his nearest kinsman redeemer is to come and redeem what his brother has sold.

26 Or in case a man has no kinsman redeemer, but recovers his means and finds sufficient payment for its redemption,

27 then he shall calculate the years since its sale and return the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his possession of land.

28 But if he has not found sufficient means to return it to himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hands of its purchaser until the year of jubilee; but at the jubilee it shall revert, that he may return to his possession of land.
