26. But if a man does not have a redeemer, then he prospers and he finds enough for his redemption,
27. then he shall calculate the years of its selling, and he shall refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his property.
28. But if his hand does not find enough to refund to him, then what he has sold shall be in the buyer’s hand until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his property.
29. “ ‘And if a man sells a residential house in a walled city, then it shall be his redemption until completing a year after his selling; its redemption shall last a year.
30. But if it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, then the house that is in the walled city shall belong to the buyer in perpetuity throughout his generations; it shall not go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee.
31. However, village houses that have no surrounding wall shall be considered open country; there is redemption for it, and in the Jubilee it shall go out of the buyer’s hand.
32. “ ‘As for the cities of the Levites, that is, the houses in their property’s cities, it shall be a lasting redemption for the Levites.
33. And whatever anyone redeems from the Levites then must go out of the buyer’s hand in the Jubilee, including a house’s selling in his city’s property, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their property in the midst of the Israelites.
34. But a field of their cities’ pastureland must not be sold, because it is their property for all time.
35. “ ‘And if your countryman becomes poor and if he becomes dependent on you, then you shall support him like an alien and like a temporary resident, and he shall live with you.
36. You must not take interest or usury from him, but you shall revere your God, and your countryman shall live with you.
37. You must not give your money to him with interest or give your food for profit.
38. I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, to be as God for you.
39. “ ‘And if your countryman who is with you becomes poor, and he is sold to you, you shall not treat him as a slave.
40. He shall be with you like a hired worker, like a temporary resident; he shall work with you until the Year of Jubilee.
41. And he and his sons with him shall go out from you, and he shall return to his clan, and to the property of his ancestors he shall return.
42. Because they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt, they shall not be sold as a slave.
43. You shall not rule over him with ruthlessness, but you shall revere your God.
44. “ ‘As for your slave and your slave woman who are yours, from the nations that are all around you, from them you may buy a slave or a slave woman.
