Lev.25.16
The more years left, the more money; you can raise the price. But the fewer years left, the less money; decrease the price. What you are buying and selling in fact is the number of crops you're going to harvest.
Lev.25.16
When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, because what he is really selling you is the number of crops.
Lev.25.16
According to the multitude of years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops.
Lev.25.16
The more the years, the higher the price; the fewer the years, the lower the price. After all, the person selling the land is actually selling you a certain number of harvests.

Lev.25.23
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
Lev.25.23
"The land cannot be sold permanently because the land is mine and you are foreigners--you're my tenants.
Lev.25.23
"'The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants.

Lev.25.24
You must provide for the right of redemption for any of the land that you own.

Lev.25.26
Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it,
Lev.25.26
If there is no one to redeem the land but the person who sold it manages to get enough money to buy it back,
Lev.25.27
Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
Lev.25.27
he is to calculate the value since he sold it and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it; he can then go back to his own land.
Lev.25.27
he is to determine the value for the years since he sold it and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it; he can then go back to his own property.
Lev.25.27
then let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession.
Lev.25.27
then that person has the right to redeem it from the one who bought it. The price of the land will be based on the number of years until the next Year of Jubilee. After buying it back, the original owner may then return to the land.
Lev.25.28
But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

But if he is not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.
Lev.25.28
But if the original owner cannot afford to redeem it, then it will belong to the new owner until the next Year of Jubilee. In the jubilee year, the land will be returned to the original owner.

Lev.25.30
And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
Lev.25.30
But if it is not redeemed before the full year has passed, it becomes the permanent possession of the buyer and his descendants. It is not returned in the Jubilee.
Lev.25.30
If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to the buyer and his descendants. It is not to be returned in the Jubilee.

Lev.25.33
And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
Lev.25.33
Levitical property is always redeemable if it is sold in a town that they hold and reverts to them in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the People of Israel.
Lev.25.33
So the property of the Levites is redeemable-that is, a house sold in any town they hold-and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites.
Lev.25.33
And if a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
Lev.25.33
And any property that can be redeemed by the Levites--all houses within the Levitical cities--must be returned in the Year of Jubilee. After all, the cities reserved for the Levites are the only property they own in all Israel.
