But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.

32

But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.

33

And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.

34

But the land on the outskirts of their towns may not be exchanged for money, for it is their property for ever.

35

And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.

36

Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.

37

Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.
