Leviticus 25:29-43

29And ifH3588 a manH376 sellH4376 a dwellingH4186 houseH1004 in a walledH2346 cityH5892, then he may redeem it withinH1004 a wholeH3117 yearH8141 afterH1961 it is soldH4376; for a fullH3117 yearH8141 shall he have the rightH1353 of redemptionH1353.

30And ifH518 it be notH3808 redeemedH1350 withinH1004 the spaceH4390 of a fullH4390 yearH8141, then the houseH1004 that is in the walledH2346 cityH5892 shall be madeH834 sure in perpetuity to him that boughtH7069 it, throughoutH1755 his generationsH1755: it shall notH3808 goH3318 outH3318 in the jubile.

31But the housesH1004 of the villages whichH834 have noH369 wallH2346 roundH5439 aboutH1961 them shall be reckonedH2803 with the fieldsH7704 of the countryH776: they may be redeemed, and they shall goH3318 outH3318 in the jubile.

32Nevertheless the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881, the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of their possessionH272, may the LevitesH3881 redeem at anyH1961 time.

33And ifH3588 one of the LevitesH3881 redeemH1350, then the houseH1004 that was soldH4465, and the cityH5892 of his possessionH272, shall goH3318 outH3318 in the jubile: for the housesH1004 of the citiesH5892 of the LevitesH3881 are their possessionH272 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

34But the fieldH7704 of the suburbs of their citiesH5892 may notH3808 be soldH4376; for it is their perpetualH5769 possessionH272.

35And ifH3588 thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134, and his handH3027 fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: as a strangerH1616 and a sojournerH8453 shall he liveH2421 with thee.

36TakeH3947 thou noH408 usuryH8636 of him or increaseH8636; but fearH3372 thy GodH430: that thy brotherH251 may liveH2421 with thee.

37Thou shalt notH3808 giveH5414 him thy moneyH3701 upon usury, norH3808 giveH5414 him thy victuals for increaseH4768.

38I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, whichH834 broughtH3318 youH834 forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to giveH5414 youH834 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to be your GodH430.

39And ifH3588 thy brotherH251 be waxen poorH4134 with thee, and sellH4376 himselfH3808 unto thee; thou shalt notH3808 makeH5647 him to serveH5647 as a bondservant:

40as an hiredH7916 servantH7916, and as a sojournerH8453, he shall be with thee; he shall serveH5647 with thee unto the yearH8141 of jubile:

41then shall he goH3318 outH3318 from thee, he and his childrenH1121 with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his ownH272 familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725.

42For they are my servantsH5650, whichH834 I broughtH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall notH3808 be soldH4376 as bondmen.

43Thou shalt notH3808 ruleH7287 over him with rigour; but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430.
