Leviticus 25:24

24 wherefore all the country of your possession shall be sold under the condition of again-buying. (and so all the land of your possession shall be sold under the condition of being able to buy it back.)

Leviticus 25:24 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:24

And in all the land of your possession
Which they should possess in the land of Canaan, whatever part of it any of them should enjoy:

ye shall grant a redemption for the land;
that is, whenever any estate in it was sold through necessity, the buyer was obliged to grant a liberty to the seller to redeem it, when it was in his power to do it, or any or his relations, especially after two years; so Jarchi observes, he that sells his possession may redeem it after two years, either he himself or he that is near akin to him, nor can the buyer hinder it; (See Gill on Leviticus 25:15).

Leviticus 25:24 In-Context

22 and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat eld fruits till to the ninth year; (yea,) till new things come forth, ye shall eat the eld things.
23 Also the land shall not be sold into without end, for it is mine, and ye be my comelings, and [my] tenants;
24 wherefore all the country of your possession shall be sold under the condition of again-buying. (and so all the land of your possession shall be sold under the condition of being able to buy it back.)
25 If thy brother is made poor, and selleth his little possession, and his nigh kinsmen will, he may again-buy that that he sold (he can buy back what he hath sold);
26 soothly if he hath no nigh kinsman, and he may find [the] price to again-buy, (and if he hath no one near of kin, but he findeth the money to buy it back,)
