26

If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it;

27

then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.

28

But if he isn't able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.

29

"'If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.

30

If it isn't redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
