Throughout the land that you hold, you must provide for the redemption of the land. The redemption principle for the land — the mechanism by which sold land can be returned before the Jubilee — communicates the covenant's flexibility within the Jubilee's structure. The Jubilee is the automatic restoration; the redemption is the voluntary restoration that can happen earlier. The redemption right protects the original family's claim on the land even within the years before the Jubilee.
