29And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.
30And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee.
31But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.
32But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.
33And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.
34But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.
35And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.
36Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.
37Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.
38I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.
39And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;
40But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;
