 redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. 26 And if the man shall have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; 27 Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the balance to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession. 28 But if he shall not be able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession. 29 And if a man shall sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. 30 And if it shall not be redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no walls around them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee. 32 However the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 33 And if a man shall purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But the field of the common land of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 35 And if thy brother shall have become poor, and falleth into poverty among you; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he may be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36 Take thou no interest of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy food for increase. 38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. 39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee shall have become poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave: 40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee to the year of jubilee: 41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return. 42 For they are my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 44 Both thy male and female slaves, which thou shalt have, shall be from the heathen that are around you; from them shall ye buy male and female slaves. 45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, whom they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your slaves for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. 47 And if a sojourner or a stranger shall become rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him shall become poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family: 48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him: 49 Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself. 50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. 51 If there shall be yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 52 And if there shall remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. 54 And if he shall not be redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him. 55 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God. 2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and
