Leviticus - ch 25 v 21 - 40

  1. Then I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give fruit enough for three years.
  2. And in the eighth year you will put in your seed, and get your food from the old stores, till the fruit of the ninth year is ready.
  3. No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.
  4. Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.
  5. If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.
  6. And if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back;
  7. Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.
  8. But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.
  9. And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.
  10. And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee.
  11. But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.
  12. But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.
  13. And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.
  14. But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.
  15. And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.
  16. Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.
  17. Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.
  18. I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.
  19. And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;
  20. But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;
