Leviticus 25:23-34

²³And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.

²⁴And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.

²⁵And if thy brother who is with thee be poor, and should have sold part of his possession, and his kinsman who is nigh to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.

²⁶And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, even his ransom;

²⁷then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession.

²⁸But if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession.

²⁹And if any one should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until the time is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.

³⁰And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release.

³¹But the houses in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.

³²And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.

³³And if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the children of Israel.

³⁴And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.
