Leviticus 25:14
"If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other. Measure by the number of years since the Jubilee. A buyer is to pay for the number of years until the next Jubilee; the seller is to deduct the number of years since the last Jubilee. You are to sell to each other according to the number of years of harvest."
This verse is part of a larger passage that deals with the year of Jubilee. The year of Jubilee was a special year that occurred every 50 years. During the year of Jubilee, all debts were forgiven and all land was returned to its original owners.
Leviticus 25:14 is specifically talking about the sale of land during the year of Jubilee. It states that if you sell land to someone, you must not take advantage of them. You must sell the land for the number of years until the next Jubilee. This means that if you sell land in the year of Jubilee, you will not be able to make a profit on the sale.
This verse teaches us that we should be fair and honest in our dealings with others. We should not take advantage of people in need, especially during times of economic hardship.
The year of Jubilee was a time of great social and economic relief for the people of Israel. It helped to ensure that everyone had a fair chance to succeed and that no one was permanently impoverished. The principles of the year of Jubilee are still relevant today. We should all strive to be fair and just in our dealings with others, and we should work to create a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
