15 You might want to buy your neighbor’s land. If you do, count the number of years since the last Jubilee. Use that number to decide the right price. If he sells the land to you, count the number of years left for harvesting crops. Use that number to decide the right price.
16 If there are many years, the price will be high. If there are only a few years, lower the price. This is because your neighbor is really selling only a few crops to you. At the next Jubilee the land will again belong to his family.
17 You must not cheat each other. You respect your God. I am the Lord your God.
18 “‘Remember my laws and rules, and obey them. Then you will live safely in the land.
19 The land will give good crops to you. You will eat as much as you want. And you will live safely in the land.
20 “‘But you might ask, “If we don’t plant seeds or gather crops, what will we eat the seventh year?”
21 Don’t worry. I will send you a great blessing during the sixth year. That year the land will produce enough crops for 3 years.
