Leviticus 25:34-49 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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

35. `And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he hath lived with thee;

36. thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee;

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.

39. `And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;

40. as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, --

41. then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back.

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,

45. and also of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, of them ye buy, and of their families who [are] with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for a possession;

46. and ye have taken them for inheritance to your sons after you, to occupy [for] a possession; to the age ye lay service upon them, but upon your brethren, the sons of Israel, one with another, thou dost not rule over him with rigour.

47. `And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with thee attaineth [riches], and thy brother with him hath become poor, and he hath been sold to a sojourner, a settler with thee, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,

48. after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to him; one of his brethren doth redeem him,

49. or his uncle, or a son of his uncle, doth redeem him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, doth redeem him, or--his own hand hath attained--then he hath been redeemed.
