Leviticus 25:29-34
Christian Standard Bible
29 “If a man sells a residence in a walled city, his right of redemption will last until a year has passed after its sale; his right of redemption will last a year. 30 If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its purchaser throughout his generations. It is not to be released on the Jubilee. 31 But houses in settlements that have no walls around them are to be classified as open fields. The right to redeem such houses stays in effect, and they are to be released at the Jubilee.
32 “Concerning the Levitical cities,(A) the Levites always have the right to redeem houses in the cities they possess. 33 Whatever property one of the Levites can redeem[a]—a house sold in a city they possess—is to be released at the Jubilee, because the houses in the Levitical cities are their possession among the Israelites. 34 The open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for it is their permanent possession.

Leviticus 25:29-34
New American Standard Bible
29 ‘Likewise, if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his redemption right remains valid until a full year after its sale; his right of redemption lasts a full year. 30 But if it is not bought back for him within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city passes permanently to its purchaser throughout his generations; it does not [a]revert in the jubilee. 31 The houses of the villages, however, which have no surrounding wall, shall be regarded [b]as open fields; they have redemption rights and [c]revert in the jubilee. 32 As for the (A)cities of the Levites, the Levites have a permanent right of redemption for the houses of the cities which are their possession. 33 What, therefore, [d]belongs to the Levites may be redeemed, and a house sale [e]in the city of this possession [f]reverts in the jubilee, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel. 34 (B)But pasture fields of their cities shall not be sold, for that is their permanent possession.
