Leviticus 25:23–34

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

²⁴For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.

²⁵If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will: he may redeem what he had sold.

²⁶But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:

²⁷The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it. And the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.

²⁸But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.

²⁹He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired.

³⁰If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even in the jubilee.

³¹But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields. If it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.

³²The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed.

³³If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners: because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.

³⁴But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.
