Leviticus 25:25-41

25If thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134, and hath soldH4376 away some of his possessionH272, and if any of his kinH7138 comeH935 to redeemH1350 it, then shall he redeemH1350 that which his brotherH251 soldH4465. 26And if the manH376 have none to redeemH1350 it, and himselfH3027 be ableH5381H1767 to redeemH1353H4672 it;1 27Then let him countH2803 the yearsH8141 of the saleH4465 thereof, and restoreH7725 the overplusH5736 unto the manH376 to whom he soldH4376 it; that he may returnH7725 unto his possessionH272. 28But if heH3027 be not ableH1767 to restoreH7725H4672 it to him, then that which is soldH4465 shall remain in the handH3027 of him that hath boughtH7069 it until the yearH8141 of jubileH3104: and in the jubileH3104 it shall go outH3318, and he shall returnH7725 unto his possessionH272. 29And if a manH376 sellH4376 a dwellingH4186 houseH1004 in a walledH2346 cityH5892, then he may redeemH1353 it within a wholeH8552 yearH8141 after it is soldH4465; within a full yearH3117 may he redeemH1353 it. 30And if it be not redeemedH1350 within the spaceH4390 of a fullH8549 yearH8141, then the houseH1004 that is in the walledH2346 cityH5892 shall be establishedH6965 for everH6783 to him that boughtH7069 it throughout his generationsH1755: it shall not go outH3318 in the jubileH3104. 31But the housesH1004 of the villagesH2691 which have no wallH2346 round aboutH5439 them shall be countedH2803 as the fieldsH7704 of the countryH776: they may be redeemedH1353, and they shall go outH3318 in the jubileH3104.2 32Notwithstanding the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, and the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of their possessionH272, may the LevitesH3881 redeemH1353 at any timeH5769. 33And if a man purchaseH1350 of the LevitesH3881, then the houseH1004 that was soldH4465, and the cityH5892 of his possessionH272, shall go outH3318 in the year of jubileH3104: for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.3 34But the fieldH7704 of the suburbsH4054 of their citiesH5892 may not be soldH4376; for it is their perpetualH5769 possessionH272.

35And if thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134, and fallen in decayH4131 with theeH3027; then thou shalt relieveH2388 him: yea, though he be a strangerH1616, or a sojournerH8453; that he may liveH2416 with thee.45 36TakeH3947 thou no usuryH5392 of him, or increaseH8636: but fearH3372 thy GodH430; that thy brotherH251 may liveH2416 with thee. 37Thou shalt not giveH5414 him thy moneyH3701 upon usuryH5392, nor lendH5414 him thy victualsH400 for increaseH4768. 38I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430, which brought you forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to giveH5414 you the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and to be your GodH430.

39And if thy brotherH251 that dwelleth by thee be waxen poorH4134, and be soldH4376 unto thee; thou shalt not compelH5647 him to serveH5656 as a bondservantH5650:6 40But as an hired servantH7916, and as a sojournerH8453, he shall be with thee, and shall serveH5647 thee unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104: 41And then shall he departH3318 from thee, both he and his childrenH1121 with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his own familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725.
