That verse you posted said 7x7 years, so every 49 years, with one year off after, so a 50 year cycle. Then I guess they “buy” land throughout the next 50 year cycle based on how many years remain. Ie, if it’s 25 years into the cycle, the price for a field might be half off. Not a terrible system really, for the age. At the end of the cycle, it all goes back to the “clan” to be resold again.

It’s weird how Christian dominionists never mention the Jubilee. You’re supposed to forgive all debts every seven years, and you can’t really own land - God does.
The only parts they read in Leviticus are the ones about killing gays though.

They certainly skipped 18? 19? where it directs people to treat foreigners in your land like the native born.
