27. then let him count the years since the sale and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, so that he may return to his property.
28. But if he is not able to restore it to himself, then that which he sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee, and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.
29. If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a year after it is sold, within a full year he may have the right to buy it back.
30. If it is not redeemed within the time of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be given permanently to him who bought it throughout his generations. It shall not be returned in the Jubilee.
31. But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them shall be counted as the fields of the land. They may be redeemed, and they shall be returned in the Jubilee.
32. For the cities of the Levites, they may redeem at any time the houses in the cities that they possess.
33. If a Levite purchases back the house that was sold in the city of his possession, then it shall be returned in the Jubilee. For the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34. But the fields of the land of their cities may not be sold, for they are their perpetual possession.
35. If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, then you shall support him as if he were a foreigner or a sojourner, so that he may live with you.
36. Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, so that your brother may live with you.
37. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor lend him your food for profit.
38. I am the Lord 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 who dwells near you becomes poor and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant.
40. But as a hired servant and as a sojourner he shall be with you. He shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee.
41. And then he shall depart from you, both he and his children with him, and he shall return to his own family and to the possession of his fathers.
42. For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
43. You shall not rule over him with harshness, but you shall fear your God.
44. Both your male and female slaves, whom you may have, they shall be bought from the nations that are around you.
45. Moreover of the foreigners who sojourn among you and of their families who are with you, who were born in your land, you may also buy from them, and they may be your possession.
