Leviticus 25:29-34
New International Version
Leviticus 25:29-34
New International Version
29 “‘Anyone who sells a house in a walled city retains the right of redemption a full year after its sale. During that time the seller may redeem it. 30 If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to the buyer and the buyer’s descendants. It is not to be returned in the Jubilee. 31 But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as belonging to the open country. They can be redeemed, and they are to be returned in the Jubilee.
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)

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.
