Leviticus 25:29-43

29“If a man sells a residence in a walled city, his right of redemption will last until a year has passed after its sale; his right of redemption will last a year.

30If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its purchaser throughout his generations. It is not to be released on the Jubilee.

31But houses in settlements that have no walls around them are to be classified as open fields. The right to redeem such houses stays in effect, and they are to be released at the Jubilee.

32“Concerning the Levitical cities, the Levites always have the right to redeem houses in the cities they possess.

33Whatever property one of the Levites can redeem  — a house sold in a city they possess — is to be released at the Jubilee, because the houses in the Levitical cities are their possession among the Israelites.

34The open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for it is their permanent possession.

35“If your brother becomes destitute and cannot sustain himself among you, you are to support him as an alien or temporary resident, so that he can continue to live among you.

36Do not profit or take interest from him, but fear your God and let your brother live among you.

37You are not to lend him your silver with interest or sell him your food for profit.

38I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

39“If your brother among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, you must not force him to do slave labor.

40Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he may work for you until the Year of Jubilee.

41Then he and his children are to be released from you, and he may return to his clan and his ancestral property.

42They are not to be sold as slaves, because they are my servants that I brought out of the land of Egypt.

43You are not to rule over them harshly but fear your God.
