In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to their own property. The Jubilee's most fundamental provision: everyone returns to their own property. The property that was sold due to economic necessity during the fifty-year cycle is returned to the original family without additional payment. The Jubilee is not a transaction but a restoration: what economic distress removed is returned by covenant right. The community that knows that land returns in the Jubilee knows that land sale is always temporary — a lease, not a permanent transfer.
