Leviticus 25:23-33

23“Moreover, the land is not to be sold ­permanently, because the land is Mine. For you are sojourners with Me.

24For any land you possess, you are to provide for redemption of the land.

25“If your brother becomes poor and sells some of his property, then his nearest kinsman may come and redeem what his brother has sold.

26If a man has no kinsman-redeemer, but he himself recovers and finds sufficient means to redeem it,

27then let him reckon the years since its sale and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it. Then he will return to his property.

28But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold is to remain in the hand of the one who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee. Then in the Jubilee it shall be released, so he may return to his property.

29“If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he has the right of redemption.

30But if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city will belong permanently to the one who bought it throughout his generations. It will not be released in the Jubilee.

31But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them are to be considered as open country. They have redemption rights and are to be released in the Jubilee.

32“But as for the towns of the Levites, the Levites may have a permanent right of redemption for the houses in the towns of their possession.

33The Levites may redeem a house sold in the town of its possession. Also it shall be released in the Jubilee, for the houses of the Levitical towns are their possession among Bnei-Yisrael.
