29If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.
30If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.
31But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.
33So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.
34But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
