Leviticus 25:29–41

29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within ca full year may he redeem it. 30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be stablished for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: * they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile. 32 Notwithstanding dthe cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 33 And if * a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, eshall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But the field fof the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and * fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt * grelieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36 hTake thou no usury of him, or increase: but ifear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. 38 kI am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

39 And lif thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not * compel him to serve as a bondservant: 40 but as a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile: 41 and then shall he depart from thee, mboth he and his children with him, and shall return unto nhis own family, and nunto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
