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.

English Standard Version
29 “If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may redeem it within a year of its sale. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption. 30 If it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong in perpetuity to the buyer, throughout his generations; (A)it shall not be released in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them shall be classified with the fields of the land. They may be redeemed, and (B)they shall be released in the jubilee. 32 As for (C)the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem at any time the houses in the cities they possess. 33 And if one of the Levites exercises his right of redemption, then the house that was sold in a city they possess shall be released in the jubilee. For the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the people of Israel. 34 But the fields (D)of pastureland belonging to their cities may not be sold, for that is their possession forever.
