Leviticus 25:31-33
Lexham English Bible
31 However,[a] village houses that have no surrounding wall shall be considered open country;[b] there is redemption for it, and in the Jubilee it shall go out of the buyer’s hand.[c]
32 “‘As for[d] the cities of the Levites, that is, the houses in[e] their property’s cities, it shall be a lasting redemption[f] for the Levites. 33 And whatever anyone redeems from the Levites then[g] must go out of the buyer’s hand[h] in the Jubilee, including a house’s selling in his city’s property,[i] because the houses in[j] the cities of the Levites are their property in the midst of the Israelites.[k]
