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.
35. If one of your fellow Israelites faces financial difficulty and is in a shaky situation with you, you must assist them as you would an immigrant or foreign guest so that they can survive among you.
36. Do not take interest from them, or any kind of profit from interest, but fear your God so that your fellow Israelite can survive among you.
37. Do not lend a poor Israelite money with interest or lend food at a profit.
38. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt to give you Canaan’s land and to be your God.
39. If one of your fellow Israelites faces financial difficulty with you and sells themselves to you, you must not make him work as a slave.
40. Instead, they will be like a hired laborer or foreign guest to you. They will work for you until the Jubilee year,
41. at which point the poor Israelite along with their children will be released from you. They can return to their extended family and to their family property.
