Leviticus 25:29-34
Lexham English Bible

29 “‘And if a man sells a residential house in a walled city,[a] then[b] it shall be his redemption until completing a year after his selling;[c] its redemption shall last[d] a year.[e] 30 But[f] if it is not redeemed before a full year has passed,[g] then[h] the house that is in the walled city[i] shall belong to the buyer in[j] perpetuity throughout his generations; it shall not go out of the buyer’s hand[k] in the Jubilee. 31 However,[l] village houses that have no surrounding wall shall be considered open country;[m] there is redemption for it, and in the Jubilee it shall go out of the buyer’s hand.[n]

32 “‘As for[o] the cities of the Levites, that is, the houses in[p] their property’s cities, it shall be a lasting redemption[q] for the Levites. 33 And whatever anyone redeems from the Levites then[r] must go out of the buyer’s hand[s] in the Jubilee, including a house’s selling in his city’s property,[t] because the houses in[u] the cities of the Levites are their property in the midst of the Israelites.[v] 34 But[w] a[x] field of their cities’ pastureland must not be sold, because it is their property for all time.[y]
