Leviticus 25:25-41

25‘1IfH3588 a fellowH251 countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 that he sellsH4376 part of his propertyH272, then his closestH7138 2redeemerH1350 is to comeH935 and buyH1350 backH1350 whatH4465 his relativeH251 has soldH4465. 26Or inH3588 caseH3588 someoneH376 hasH1961 noH3808 redeemerH1350, but 3recoversH3027H5381 to findH4672 sufficientH1767 meansH1767 for its redemptionH1353, 274then 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 5he 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 6revertH3318, so that 7he 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 afterH4480 its saleH4465; his rightH1353 ofH1353 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 8revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 31The housesH1004 of the villagesH2691, however, whichH834 haveH369 noH369 surroundingH5439 wallH2346, shall be regardedH2803 9as openH776 fieldsH7704; they haveH1961 redemptionH1353 rightsH1353 and 10revertH3318 in the jubileeH3104. 32As for the 11citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the LevitesH3881 haveH1961 a permanentH5769 rightH1353 ofH1353 redemptionH1353 for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 which are their possessionH272. 33WhatH834, therefore, 12belongsH4480 to the LevitesH3881 may be redeemedH1350, and a houseH1004 saleH4465 13in the cityH5892 of this possessionH272 14revertsH3318 in the jubileeH3104, becauseH3588 the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 3415But pastureH4054 fieldsH7704 of their citiesH5892 shall not be soldH4376, for that is their permanentH5769 possessionH272.

35‘16Now inH3588 caseH3588 a countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 poorH4134 and his 17meansH3027 amongH5973 you falterH4131, then you are to sustainH2388 him, like a strangerH1616 or a residentH8453, so that he may liveH2421 with you. 3618Do not takeH3947 19any kind of interestH5392H8636 from him, but 20fearH3372 your GodH430, so that your countrymanH251 may liveH2421 with you. 37You shall not giveH5414 him your silverH3701 at interestH5392, norH3808 your foodH400 21for profitH4768. 3822I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and 23to be your GodH430.

39‘Now 24ifH3588 a countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 withH5973 regardH5973 toH5973 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 workerH7916, 25as if he were a foreignH8453 residentH8453; he shall serveH5647 with you up to the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104. 41He shall then leaveH3318 you, he and his sonsH1121 with him, and shall goH7725 backH7725 to his familyH4940, so that he may returnH7725 to the propertyH272 of his forefathersH1.
