Leviticus 25:27-33 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

27. he may calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man he sold it to, and return to his property.

28. But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in the possession of its purchaser until the Year of Jubilee. It is to be released at the Jubilee, so that he may return to his property.

29. “If a man sells a residence in a walled city, his right of redemption will last until a year has passed after its sale; his right of redemption will last a year.

30. If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its purchaser throughout his generations. It is not to be released on the Jubilee.

31. But houses in villages that have no walls around them are to be classified as open fields. The right to redeem such houses stays in effect, and they are to be released at the Jubilee.

32. “Concerning the Levitical cities, the Levites always have the right to redeem houses in the cities they possess.

33. Whatever property one of the Levites can redeem — a house sold in a city they possess — must be released at the Jubilee, because the houses in the Levitical cities are their possession among the Israelites.
