Leviticus 25:32-39 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

32. “Concerning the Levitical cities, the Levites always have the right to redeem houses in the cities they possess.

33. Whatever property one of the Levites can redeem — a house sold in a city they possess — must 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.

35. “If your brother becomes destitute and cannot sustain himself among you, you are to support him as a foreigner or temporary resident, so that he can continue to live among you.

36. Do not profit or take interest from him, but fear your God and let your brother live among you.

37. You are not to lend him your silver with interest or sell him your food for profit.

38. I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

39. “If your brother among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, you must not force him to do slave labor.
