Leviticus 25:29-43

29And if a manH376 sellH4376 a dwelling-house in a walledH2346 cityH5892, then he may redeem it within a whole yearH8141 after it is soldH4376; for a full yearH8141 shall he have the rightH1353 of redemptionH1353. 30And if it be not redeemedH1350 within the space of a fullH4390 yearH8141, then the houseH1004 that is in the walledH2346 cityH5892 shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that boughtH7069 it, throughout his generationsH1755: it shall not goH3318 out in the jubileeH3104. 31But the housesH1004 of the villages which have no wallH2346 roundH5439 about them shall beH1961 reckonedH2803 with the fieldsH7704 of the country: they may beH1961 redeemed, and they shall goH3318 out in the jubileeH3104. 32Nevertheless the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of their possessionH272, may the LevitesH3881 redeem at any time. 33And if oneH4480 of the LevitesH3881 redeemH1350, then the houseH1004 that was sold, and the cityH5892 of his possessionH272, shall goH3318 out in the jubileeH3104; for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 among the children of IsraelH3478. 34But the fieldH7704 of the suburbs of their citiesH5892 may not be soldH4376; for it is their perpetual possessionH272.

35And if thy brotherH251 be waxed poor, and his handH3027 fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: as a stranger and a sojourner shall he liveH2421 with thee. 36TakeH3947 thou no interestH5392 of him or increase, but fearH3372 thy GodH430; that thy brotherH251 may liveH2421 with thee. 37Thou shalt not giveH5414 him thy moneyH3701 upon interestH5392, nor giveH5414 him thy victuals for increase. 38I am Jehovah your GodH430, who broughtH3318 you forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and to beH1961 your GodH430.

39And if thy brotherH251 be waxed poor with thee, and sellH4376 himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serveH5647 as a bondservant. 40As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall beH1961 with thee; he shall serveH5647 with thee unto the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104: 41then shall he goH3318 out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his ownH272 familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725. 42For they are my servantsH5650, whom I broughtH3318 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall not be soldH4376 as bondmen. 43Thou shalt not ruleH7287 over him with rigor, but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430.
