Leviticus 25:25-41

25‘1IfH3588 a 2fellowH251 countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 he has to sellH4376 part of his propertyH272, then his nearestH7138 kinsmanH1350 is to comeH935 and buyH1350 backH1350 whatH4465 his 3relativeH251 has soldH4465. 26Or in caseH3588 a manH376 hasH1961 noH3808 kinsmanH1350, but so 4recoversH5381 his meansH3027 as to findH4672 sufficientH1767 for its redemptionH1353, 275then he shall calculateH2803 the yearsH8141 since its saleH4465 and refundH7725 the balanceH5736 to the manH376 to whomH834 he soldH4376 it, and so returnH7725 to his propertyH272. 28But ifH518 6he has not foundH4672 sufficientH1767 meansH3027 to getH7725 it backH7725 for himself, then whatH4465 he has soldH4465 shall remainH1961 in the handsH3027 of its purchaserH7069 untilH5704 the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104; but at the jubileeH3104 it shall 7revertH3318, that 8he may returnH7725 to his propertyH272.

29‘Likewise, ifH3588 a manH376 sellsH4376 a dwellingH4186 houseH1004 in a walledH2346 cityH5892, then his redemptionH1353 rightH1353 remainsH1961 valid untilH5704 a fullH8552 yearH8141 from its saleH4465; his rightH1353 of redemptionH1353 lastsH1961 a fullH3117 yearH3117. 30But ifH518 it is not boughtH1350 backH1350 for him withinH5704 the spaceH4390 of a fullH8549 yearH8141, then the houseH1004 that is in the walledH2346 cityH5892 passesH6965 permanentlyH6783 to its purchaserH7069 throughout his generationsH1755; it does not 9revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 31The housesH1004 of the villagesH2691, however, whichH834 haveH369 noH369 surroundingH5439 wallH2346 shall be consideredH2803 10as openH776 fieldsH7704; they haveH1961 redemptionH1353 rightsH1353 and 11revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 32As for 12citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the LevitesH3881 haveH1961 a permanentH5769 rightH1353 of redemptionH1353 for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 which are their possessionH272. 33WhatH834, therefore, 13belongsH4480 to the LevitesH3881 may be redeemedH1350 and a houseH1004 saleH4465 14in the cityH5892 of this possessionH272 15revertsH3318 in the jubileeH3104, for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 3416But pastureH4054 fieldsH7704 of their citiesH5892 shall not be soldH4376, for that is their perpetualH5769 possessionH272.

35‘17Now in caseH3588 a 18countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 poorH4134 and his 19meansH3027 with regardH5973 to you falterH4131, then you are to sustainH2388 him, like a strangerH1616 or a sojournerH8453, that he may liveH2421 with you. 3620Do not takeH3947 21usuriousH8636 interestH5392 from him, but revereH3372 your GodH430, that your 22countrymanH251 may liveH2421 with you. 37You shall not giveH5414 him your silverH3701 at interestH5392, norH3808 your foodH400 for gainH4768. 3823I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 broughtH3318 you out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667 and 24to be your GodH430.

39‘25IfH3588 a 26countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 with regardH5973 to you that he sellsH4376 himself to you, you shall not subjectH5647 him to a slave’sH5650 serviceH5656. 40He shall be with you as a hiredH7916 manH7916, as 27if he were a sojournerH8453; he shall serveH5647 with you untilH5704 the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104. 41He shall then goH3318 out from you, he and his sonsH1121 with him, and shall goH7725 backH7725 to his familyH4940, that he may returnH7725 to the propertyH272 of his forefathersH1.
