Leviticus 25:27-50

27he shall calculateH2803 the yearsH8141 since its saleH4465, repayH7725 the balanceH5736 to the manH376 to whomH834 he sold itH4376, and returnH7725 to his propertyH272. 28But ifH518 he cannotH3808 obtainH4672H3027 enoughH1767 to repayH7725 him, what he soldH4465 will remainH1961 in possessionH3027 of the buyerH7069 untilH5704 the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104. In the JubileeH3104, however, it is to be releasedH3318, so that he may returnH7725 to his propertyH272.

29IfH3588 a manH376 sellsH4376 a houseH1004H4186 in a walledH2346 cityH5892, he retainsH1961 his right of redemptionH1353 untilH5704 a fullH8552 yearH8141 after its saleH4465; during that yearH3117 it may beH1961 redeemedH1353. 30IfH518 it is notH3808 redeemedH1350 by the endH5704H4390 of a fullH8549H6965 yearH8141, then the houseH1004 in the walledH2346 cityH5892 is permanentlyH6783 transferred to its buyerH7069 and his descendantsH1755. It is notH3808 to be releasedH3318 in the JubileeH3104. 31But housesH1004 in villagesH2691 withH834 noH369 wallsH2346 around themH5439H5921 are to be consideredH2803 as open fieldsH7704H776. They may be redeemedH1353, and they shall beH1961 releasedH3318 in the JubileeH3104.

32As for the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the LevitesH3881 alwaysH5769 haveH1961 the right to redeemH1353 their housesH1004 in the citiesH5892 they possessH272. 33So whateverH834 belongs toH4480 the LevitesH3881 may be redeemedH1350—a houseH1004 soldH4465 in a cityH5892 they possessH272—and must be releasedH3318 in the JubileeH3104, becauseH3588 the housesH1004H1931 in the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the IsraelitesH1121H3478. 34But the openH7704 pasturelandH4054 around their citiesH5892 may notH3808 be soldH4376, forH3588 thisH1931 is their permanentH5769 possessionH272.

35Now ifH3588 your countrymanH251 becomes destituteH4134 and cannot support himselfH4131H3027 among youH5973, then you are to helpH2388 him as you would a foreignerH1616 or strangerH8453, so that he can continue to liveH2421 among youH5973. 36Do notH408 takeH3947 any interestH5392 or profitH8636 from himH854, but fearH3372 your GodH430, that your countrymanH251 may liveH2421 among youH5973. 37You must notH3808 lendH5414 himH853 your silverH3701 at interestH5392 orH3808 sell himH5414 your foodH400 for profitH4768. 38IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 brought youH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667 and to beH1961 your GodH430.

39IfH3588 a countrymanH251 among youH5973 becomes destituteH4134 and sells himselfH4376 to you, then you must notH3808 force himH5647 into slaveH5650 laborH5656. 40Let him stayH1961 with youH5973 as a hired workerH7916 or temporary residentH8453; he is to workH5647 forH5973 you untilH5704 the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104. 41Then heH1931 and his childrenH1121H5973 are to be releasedH3318, and he may returnH7725 toH413 his clanH4940 and toH413H7725 the propertyH272 of his fathersH1.

42BecauseH3588 the Israelites are My servantsH5650, whomH834 I broughtH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, they are notH3808 to be soldH4376H4466 as slavesH5650. 43You are notH3808 to ruleH7287 over them harshlyH6531, but you shall fearH3372 your GodH430.

44Your menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH519 shall comeH1961 fromH854 the nationsH1471 around youH5439, from whom you may purchaseH7069 them. 45You may alsoH1571 purchase themH7069 from theH1121 foreignersH8453 residingH1481 among youH5973 or their clansH4940 living among youH5973 whoH834 are bornH3205 in your landH776. These may becomeH1961 your propertyH272. 46You may leaveH5157 themH853 to your sonsH1121 afterH310 you to inheritH3423 as propertyH272; you can make them slavesH5647 for lifeH5769. But as for your brothersH251, the IsraelitesH1121H3478, noH3808 manH376 may ruleH7287 harshlyH6531 over his brotherH251.

47IfH3588 a foreignerH1616 residingH8453 among youH5973 prospersH5381H3027, but your countrymanH251 dwelling near himH5973 becomes destituteH4134 and sells himselfH4376 to the foreignerH1616 orH176 to a memberH6133 ofH1616 his clanH4940, 48he retainsH1961 the right of redemptionH1353 afterH310 he has sold himselfH4376. OneH259 of his brothersH251 may redeem himH1350: 49eitherH176 his uncleH1730 orH176 cousinH1121H1730 orH176 any close relativeH7607H1320 from his clanH4940 may redeem himH1350. Or ifH176 he prospersH5381H3027, he may redeem himselfH1350.

50He andH5973 his purchaserH7069 will then count the timeH2803 from the yearH8141 he soldH4376 himself up toH5704 the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104. The priceH3701 of his saleH4465 will beH1961 determined by the numberH4557 of yearsH8141, based onH1961 the dailyH3117 wages of a hired handH7916.
