03:025:031 But the houses of the villages which have
no wall round about
them
shall be counted as the fields of the country:
they may
be
redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
03:025:032 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites,
and the houses of
the
cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem
at any
time.
03:025:033 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then
the house that was
sold,
and the city of his possession, shall go out in the
year
of
jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites
are
their
possession among the children of Israel.
03:025:034 But the field of the suburbs of their cities
may not be sold;
for
it is their perpetual possession.
03:025:035 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen
in decay with
thee;
then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be
a
stranger,
or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
03:025:036 Take thou no usury of him, or increase:
but fear thy God; that
thy
brother may live with thee.
03:025:037 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon
usury, nor lend him thy
victuals
for increase.
03:025:038 I am the lord your God, which brought
you forth out of the
land
of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be
your
God.
03:025:039 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee
be waxen poor, and be
sold
unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a
bondservant:
03:025:040 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner,
he shall be with
thee,
and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.
03:025:041 And then shall he depart from thee, both
he and his children
with
him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto
the
possession
of his fathers shall he return.
03:025:042 For they are my servants, which I brought
forth out of the
land
of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
03:025:043 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour;
but shalt fear thy
God.
03:025:044 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which
thou shalt have,
shall
be of the heathen that are round about you; of them
shall
ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
03:025:045 Moreover of the children of the strangers
that do sojourn
among
you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that
are
with you, which they begat in your land: and they
shall be
your
possession.
03:025:046 And ye shall take them as an inheritance
for your children
after
you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be
your
bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children
of
Israel,
ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
