Leviticus 25:23
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
KJV
Terra quoque non vendetur in perpetuum, quia mea est, et vos advenæ et coloni mei estis :
Vulgate
Καὶ ἡ γῆ οὐ πραθήσεται εἰς βεβαίωσιν, ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ γῆ· διότι προσήλυτοι καὶ πάροικοι ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐναντίον μου·
LXX
And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
