Leviticus 25:15

25:15 You may buy it from your fellow citizen according to the number of years since ¹  the last jubilee; he may sell it to you according to the years of produce that are left. ² 

Leviticus 25:23

25:23 The land must not be sold without reclaim ³  because the land belongs to me, for you are foreigners and residents with me. ⁴ 

Leviticus 25:25

25:25 “‘If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his near redeemer is to come to you and redeem what his brother sold. ⁵ 

[25:15]  ¹ tn Heb “in the number of years after.”

[25:15]  ² tn The words “that are left” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[25:23]  ³ tn The term rendered “without reclaim” means that the land has been bought for the full price and is, therefore, not subject to reclaim under any circumstances. This was not to be done with land in ancient Israel (contrast the final full sale of houses in v. 30; see the evidence cited in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 174).

[25:23]  ⁴ tn That is, the Israelites were strangers and residents who were attached to the Lord’s household. They did not own the land. Note the parallel to the “priest’s lodger” in Lev 22:10.

[25:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “the sale of his brother.”
