And he is to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops. When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, because what he is really selling you is the number of crops. Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God. Israel was guilty of taking advantage of the poor and needy.
Church is warned about taking advantage of others.
Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. Laws governing embezzlement and negligence. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day he presents his guilt offering.
