Leviticus 25:13
Compare all
11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it ayou shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine.  
12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; ayou shall eat its produce from the field.  
13 a‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession.  
14 And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not aoppress one another.  
15 aAccording to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he shall sell to you.  
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.
17 Therefore ayou shall not oppress one another, bbut you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.

18 a‘So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform them; band you will dwell in the land in safety.  
19 Then the land will yield its fruit, and ayou will eat your fill, and dwell there in safety.

Leviticus 25:13

ye shall return every man unto his possession, etc.—Inheritances, from whatever cause, and how frequently soever they had been alienated, came back into the hands of the original proprietors. This law of entail, by which the right heir could never be excluded, was a provision of great wisdom for preserving families and tribes perfectly distinct, and their genealogies faithfully recorded, in order that all might have evidence to establish their right to the ancestral property. Hence the tribe and family of Christ were readily discovered at his birth.
