29And if anyone 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 anyone 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.
35And if thy brother who is with thee become poor, and he fail in resources with thee, thou shalt help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and thy brother shall live with thee.
36Thou shalt not receive from him interest, nor increase: and thou shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord: and thy brother shall live with thee.
37Thou shalt not lend thy money to him at interest, and thou shalt not lend thy meat to him to be returned with increase.
38I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, so as to be your God.
39And if thy brother by thee be lowered, and be sold to thee, he shall not serve thee with the servitude of a slave.
40He shall be with thee as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for thee till the year of release:
41and he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony.
42Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such a one shall not be sold as a common servant.
43Thou shalt not oppress him with labor, and shalt fear the Lord thy God.
44And whatever number of menservants and maidservants thou shalt have, thou shalt purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about thee.
45And of the sons of the sojourners that are among you, of these ye shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a possession.
46And ye shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions forever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labors.
47And if a stranger or sojourner with thee wax rich, and thy brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner that is with thee, or to a proselyte by extraction;
48after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.
49A brother of his father, or son of his father’s brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself,
50then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with him from year to year.
51And if any have a greater number of years than enough, according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase money.
52And if but a little time be left of the years to the year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years, and shall pay his ransom
53as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; thou shalt not oppress him with labor before thee.
54And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him.
55For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
