Leviticus 25:25-34

25‘1If a fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor that he sells part of his property, then his closest 2redeemer is to come and buy back what his relative has sold. 26Or in case someone has no redeemer, but 3recovers to find sufficient means for its redemption, 274then he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his property. 28But if 5he has not found sufficient means to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hands of its purchaser until the year of jubilee; but at the jubilee it shall 6revert, so that 7he may return to his property.

29‘Likewise, if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his redemption right remains valid until a full year after its sale; his right of redemption lasts a full year. 30But if it is not bought back for him within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city passes permanently to its purchaser throughout his generations; it does not 8revert in the jubilee. 31The houses of the villages, however, which have no surrounding wall, shall be regarded 9as open fields; they have redemption rights and 10revert in the jubilee. 32As for the 11cities of the Levites, the Levites have a permanent right of redemption for the houses of the cities which are their possession. 33What, therefore, 12belongs to the Levites may be redeemed, and a house sale 13in the city of this possession 14reverts in the jubilee, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel. 3415But pasture fields of their cities shall not be sold, for that is their permanent possession.
