    23 The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine; you are only foreigners and residents with me.

    24 In every part of the land that you own, you must provide for the redemption of the land.

    25 If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative is to come and redeem what they have sold.

    26 But if a man has no one to redeem it for him, and later he prospers and finds enough to redeem it,

    27 he shall calculate the years since its sale, refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property.

    28 But if he cannot afford to repay, what he sold will remain with the buyer until the Year of Jubilee; in the Jubilee it will be released, and he will return to his property.

    29 If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains the right of redemption for a full year after its sale; his right of redemption shall last a year.

    30 But if it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, the house in the walled city will become permanently the property of the buyer and their descendants; it will not be released in the Jubilee.

    31 But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as open country. They can be redeemed, and they must be released in the Jubilee.

    32 As for the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities they possess have a permanent right of redemption for the Levites.

    33 If anyone redeems property from the Levites, the property that was sold in the city they possess must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
