    24Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.

    25If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.

    26And if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back;

    27Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.

    28But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.

    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.

    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.
