32But as for the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.
33And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34But the fields of the open land about their cities may not be sold; for that is their perpetual possession.
35And if thy brother be waxen poor, and his means fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: as a stranger and a settler shall he live with thee.
36Take thou no interest of him or increase; but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
37Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor give him thy victuals for increase.
38I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.
39And if thy brother be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not make him to serve as a bondservant.
40As a hired servant, and as a settler, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubilee.
41Then shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42For they are My servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
44And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou mayest have: of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
