Leviticus 25:31-44 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

31. and a house of the villages which have no wall round about, on the field of the country is reckoned; redemption is to it, and in the jubilee it goeth out.

32. `As to cities of the Levites--houses of the cities of their possession--redemption age-during is to the Levites;

33. as to him who redeemeth from the Levites, both the sale of a house and the city of his possession have gone out in the jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.

34. And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it [is] to them.

37. thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food;

38. I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become your God.

42. `For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a servant;

43. thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.

44. `And thy man-servant and thy handmaid whom thou hast [are] of the nations who [are] round about you; of them ye buy man-servant and handmaid,
