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]
