32. “‘Nevertheless, in the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem the houses in the cities of their possession at any time.
33. The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession amongst the children of Israel.
34. But the field of the pasture lands of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.
35. “‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support himself amongst you, then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.
36. Take no interest from him or profit; but fear your God, that your brother may live amongst you.
37. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give 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 has grown poor amongst you, and sells himself to you, you shall not make him to serve as a slave.
40. As a hired servant, and as a temporary resident, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee.
41. Then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and 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 shall fear your God.
44. “‘As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
45. Moreover, of the children of the aliens who live amongst you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.
46. You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession. Of them you may take your slaves forever, but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
47. “‘If an alien or temporary resident with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living amongst you, or to a member of the stranger’s family,
48. after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;
49. or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.
