28. But if he is unable to redeem it, it shall remain in the buyer's possession until the Year of Jubilee, when it shall be set free and he may return to it.
29. If a man sells a dwelling house in a fortified city, he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year he may have the right of redemption.
30. And if it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house that is in the fortified city shall be made sure, permanently and without limitations, for him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not go free in the Year of Jubilee.
31. But the houses of the unwalled villages shall be counted with the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they shall go free in the Year of Jubilee.
32. Nevertheless, the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.
33. But if a house is not redeemed by a Levite, the sold house in the city they possess shall go free in the Year of Jubilee, for the houses in the Levite cities are their ancestral possession among the Israelites.
34. But the field of unenclosed or pasture lands of their cities may not be sold; it is their perpetual possession.
35. And if your [Israelite] brother has become poor and his hand wavers [from poverty, sickness, or age and he is unable to support himself], then you shall uphold (strengthen, relieve) him, [treating him with the courtesy and consideration that you would] a stranger or a temporary resident with you [without property], so that he may live [along] with you. [I John 3:17.]
36. Charge him no interest or [portion of] increase, but fear your God, so your brother may [continue to] live along with you.
37. You shall not give him your money at interest nor lend him food at a profit.
38. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39. And if your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a bondman (a slave not eligible for redemption),
40. But as a hired servant and as a temporary resident he shall be with you; he shall serve you till the Year of Jubilee,
