Leviticus 25:29-31
New English Translation

Release of Houses

29 “‘If a man sells a residential house in a walled city,[a] its right of redemption must extend[b] until one full year from its sale;[c] its right of redemption must extend to a full calendar year.[d] 30 If it is not redeemed before the full calendar year is ended,[e] the house in the walled city[f] will belong without reclaim[g] to the one who bought it throughout his generations; it will not revert in the Jubilee. 31 The houses of villages, however,[h] which have no wall surrounding them[i] must be considered as the field[j] of the land; they will have the right of redemption and must revert in the Jubilee.
