Leviticus 25:23 The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.

For ever. Samaritan version, "absolutely." The only exception to this law is, when a person makes a vow to give some land to the Lord, and will not redeem it, chap 27:20. In that case, God re-enters upon his property, and it belongs to his priests. (Calmet)
