Leviticus 25:29-43
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 1revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 31The housesH1004 of the villagesH2691, however, whichH834 haveH369 noH369 surroundingH5439 wallH2346 shall be consideredH2803 2as openH776 fieldsH7704; they haveH1961 redemptionH1353 rightsH1353 and 3revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 32As for 4citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the LevitesH3881 haveH1961 a permanentH5769 rightH1353 of redemptionH1353 for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 which are their possessionH272. 33WhatH834, therefore, 5belongsH4480 to the LevitesH3881 may be redeemedH1350 and a houseH1004 saleH4465 6in the cityH5892 of this possessionH272 7revertsH3318 in the jubileeH3104, for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 348But pastureH4054 fieldsH7704 of their citiesH5892 shall not be soldH4376, for that is their perpetualH5769 possessionH272.
35‘9Now in caseH3588 a 10countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 poorH4134 and his 11meansH3027 with regardH5973 to you falterH4131, then you are to sustainH2388 him, like a strangerH1616 or a sojournerH8453, that he may liveH2421 with you. 3612Do not takeH3947 13usuriousH8636 interestH5392 from him, but revereH3372 your GodH430, that your 14countrymanH251 may liveH2421 with you. 37You shall not giveH5414 him your silverH3701 at interestH5392, norH3808 your foodH400 for gainH4768. 3815I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 broughtH3318 you out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667 and 16to be your GodH430.
39‘17IfH3588 a 18countrymanH251 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 19if 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. 42For they are My servantsH5650 whomH834 I broughtH3318 out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714; they are not to be soldH4376 in a slaveH5650 saleH4466. 4320You shall not ruleH7287 over him with severityH6531, but are to revereH3372 your GodH430.
