Leviticus 25:29-34

Common English Bible

²⁹ When a person sells a home in a walled city, it may be bought back until a year after its sale. The period for buying it back will be one year. ³⁰ If it is not bought back before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city will belong to the buyer permanently and their descendants forever. It will not be released at the Jubilee. ³¹ But houses in settlements that are unwalled will be considered as if they were country fields. They can be bought back, and they must be released at the Jubilee.

³² Levites will always have the right to buy back homes in the levitical cities that are part of their family property. ³³ Levite property that can be bought back—houses sold in a city that is their family property—must be released at the Jubilee, because homes in levitical cities are the Levites’ family property among the Israelites. ³⁴ But the pastureland around their cities cannot be sold, because that is their permanent family property.
