Leviticus 25:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 ¶ Also the land shall not be sold to be [a]cut off from the family: for the land is mine, and ye be but strangers and sojourners with me.
24 Therefore in all the land of your possession ye shall [b]grant a redemption of the land.
25 ¶ If thy brother be impoverished, and sell his possession, then his redeemer shall come, even his near kinsman, and buy out that, which his [c]brother sold.
