24
And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land.
25
'If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold.
26
Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it,
27
then let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession.
28
But if he is not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.
29
If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year he may redeem it.
30
But if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
31
However the houses of villages which have no wall around them shall be counted as the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32
Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, and the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.
33
And if a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34
But the field of the common-land of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.
35
'If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.
36
Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you.
37
You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit.
38
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39
'And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave.
40
As a hired servant and a sojourner he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee.
41
And then he shall depart from you--he and his children with him--and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers.
42
For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.
43
You shall not rule over him with rigor, but you shall fear your God.
44
And as for your male and female slaves whom you may have--from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
