God's Word Translation

Leviticus 25:33-40 God's Word Translation (GW)

33. If any Levite buys back ⌊a house⌋, in the jubilee the purchased house in the city will be released, because the houses in the Levite cities are their property among the Israelites.

34. But a field that belongs to their cities must not be sold, because it is their permanent property.

35. “If an Israelite becomes poor and cannot support himself, help him. He must live with you as a stranger without a permanent home.

36. Don’t collect interest or make any profit from him. Fear your God by respecting other Israelites’ lives.

37. Never collect any kind of interest on your money or on the food you give them.

38. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you Canaan and to be your God.

39. “If an Israelite becomes poor and sells himself to you, don’t work him like a slave.

40. He will be like a hired worker or a visitor to you. He may work with you until the year of jubilee.
