Leviticus 25:32-38
New International Version
Leviticus 25:32-38
New International Version
32 “‘The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns,(A) which they possess. 33 So the property of the Levites is redeemable—that is, a house sold in any town they hold—and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites. 34 But the pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.(B)
35 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor(C) and are unable to support themselves among you, help them(D) as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. 36 Do not take interest(E) or any profit from them, but fear your God,(F) so that they may continue to live among you. 37 You must not lend them money at interest(G) or sell them food at a profit. 38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan(H) and to be your God.(I)

Leviticus 25:32-38
King James Version
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

32 Nevertheless (A)the cities of the Levites, and the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time. 33 And if a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But (B)the field of the common-land of their cities may not be (C)sold, for it is their perpetual possession.
Lending to the Poor
35 ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and [a]falls into poverty among you, then you shall (D)help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 36 (E)Take no usury or interest from him; but (F)fear your God, that your brother may live with you. 37 You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit. 38 (G)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
