Land Sabbath / Rest for the Earth

This verse focuses on the restoration of land to its original owner based on a calculation of years, which is a matter of property rights and financial compensation, not directly about the land itself resting or being fallow. The "years of the sale" refer to a financial calculation for redemption, not a period of agricultural inactivity for the land.
