Leviticus 25:31-40 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

31. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

32. Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites and the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.

33. And if a man makes a purchase from the Levites, then the house that was sold and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel.

34. But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.

35. And if thy brother becomes poor and comes unto thee, then thou shalt receive him; as a stranger, or a sojourner, he shall live with thee.

36. Take thou no usury of him, or increase; but thou shalt have the fear of thy God, and thy brother shall live with thee.

37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy food for increase.

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

39. And when thy brother becomes poor, being with thee, and if he should sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave.

40. As a hired servant and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee.
