25“ ‘When yourm brother becomes poor and he sells part of his property, thenn his nearest redeemero shall come, and he shall redeem the thing sold by his brother. 26Butp ifq a man does not haver a redeemer, thens he prosperst and he finds enough for his redemption, 27thenu he shall calculate the years of its selling, and he shall refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his property. 28Butv if his hand does not find enough to refund to him, thenw what he has soldx shall be in the buyer’s hand until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall go out of the buyer’s handy in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his property.

29“ ‘And if a man sells a residential house in a walled city,z thena it shall be his redemption until completing a year after his selling;b its redemption shall lastc a year.d 30Bute if it is not redeemed before a full year has passed,f theng the house that is in the walled cityh shall belong to the buyer ini perpetuity throughout his generations; it shall not go out of the buyer’s handj in the Jubilee. 31However,k village houses that have no surrounding wall shall be considered open country;l there is redemption for it, and in the Jubilee it shall go out of the buyer’s hand.m

32“ ‘As forn the cities of the Levites, that is, the houses ino their property’s cities, it shall be a lasting redemptionp for the Levites. 33And whatever anyone redeems from the Levites thenq must go out of the buyer’s handr in the Jubilee, including a house’s selling in his city’s property,s because the houses int the cities of the Levites are their property in the midst of the Israelites.u 34Butv aw field of their cities’ pastureland must not be sold, because it is their property for all time.x
