Vayikra 25:30-37 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

30. And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the bais that is in the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his dorot; it shall not return in the Yovel.

31. But the batim (houses) of the villages which have no chomah (wall) round about them shall be considered as the fields of the country; Geulah shall be for it, and in the Yovel it must return.

32. Notwithstanding, the towns of the Levi'im, and the batim (houses) of the towns of their possession, there is a Geulat Olam for the Levi'im.

33. And what one will buy from the Levi'im, the bais that was sold, and the town of his possession, shall be released in the year of Yovel; for the batim of the towns of the Levi'im are their possession among the Bnei Yisroel.

34. But the sadeh of the open land of their towns may not be sold; for it is their achuzzat olam (perpetual heritage).

35. And if thy brother become poor, and his hand fails with thee; then thou shalt strengthen him; yea, though he be a ger, or a toshav; that he may live among thee.

36. Take thou no neshekh of him, or increase; but fear Eloheicha; that thy brother may live among thee.

37. Thou shalt not lend him thy kesef at neshekh, nor give him thy food for increase.
