Leviticus 25:31-33

Expanded Bible

³¹ But houses in ·small towns [villages] without walls are like open ·country [fields]; they can be ·bought back [redeemed], and they must be returned to their first owner at Jubilee.

³² “‘The Levites may always ·buy back [redeem] their houses in the cities that belong to them. ³³ If someone buys a house from a Levite, that house in the Levites’ city will again belong to the Levites in the Jubilee. This is because houses in Levite cities belong to the people of Levi; ·the Israelites gave these cities to them [^Lfor the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons/^Tchildren of Israel; Num. 35:1–8; Josh. 21:1–45].
