²³ “‘The land really belongs to me, so you can’t sell it ·for all time [in perpetuity]. You are only ·foreigners [sojourners; wanderers; resident aliens] and ·travelers living for a while on my land [^Ltenants with me]. ²⁴ ·People might sell their land, but it must always be possible for the family to get its land back [^LThroughout all the land of your possession, you must allow for redemption of the land]. ²⁵ If ·a person in your country [your brother/kinsman] becomes very poor and sells some land, then close relatives ·must [or can] come and ·buy it back [redeem what his brother/kinsman has sold].
