29And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city: then shall the time of redemption last till the end of the year of his sale; a full year shall his time of redemption last.
30And if it be not redeemed within the expiration of a full year: then shall the house which is in the walled city remain as a permanence to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not become freed in the jubilee.
31But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they shall have the right of redemption, and they shall become freed in the jubilee.
32And respecting the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, a perpetual right of redemption shall belong to the Levites.
33And if a man of the Levites redeem something: then shall the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, become freed in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34And a field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold; for a perpetual possession is it unto them.
35And if thy brother become poor, and fall in decay with thee: then shalt thou assist him, yea a stranger, or a sojourner, that he may live with thee.
36Thou shalt not take of him any usury or increase; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: that thy brother may live with thee.
37Thy money shalt thou not give him upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give unto you the land of Canaan, to be unto you a God.
39And if thy brother become poor near thee, and be sold unto thee: thou shalt not compel him to work as a bond-servant.
40But as a hired laborer, as a sojourner, shall he be with thee; until the year of the jubilee shall he serve with thee:
41And then shall he depart from thee, he and his children with him; and he shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42For my servants are they, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bond-men are sold.
43Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor; but thou shalt have fear of thy God.
44But thy bond-man, and thy bond-woman that shall remain thine, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them may ye buy bond-man and bond-woman.
45And also of the children of the strangers that sojourn with you, of them may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land; and they shall remain to you as a possession.
46And ye may transfer them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; you may hold them to service for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel, one over the other, ye shall not rule with rigor.
47And if a stranger or sojourner wax rich near thee, and thy brother become poor near him, and he sell himself unto the sojourning stranger near thee, or to a descendant of a stranger's family:
48After he hath sold himself shall he have the right of redemption; one of his brethren may redeem him.
49Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he obtain the means, he may redeem himself.
50And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of the jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, as the time of a hired laborer shall he have been with him.
51If there be yet many years, according to them shall he return the price of his redemption out of his purchase-money.
52And if there remain but few years unto the year of the jubilee: then shall he reckon with him; according to his years shall he return the price of his redemption.
53As a laborer hired from year to year shall he be with him; he shall not rule over him with rigor before thy eyes.
54And if he be not redeemed by one of these means: then shall he go out in the year of the jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
55For unto me are the children of Israel servants, my servants are they, whom I have brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Eternal your God.
