Leviticus 25:32
Compare all
30 But if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
31 However the houses of villages which have no wall around them shall be counted as the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
32 Nevertheless athe cities of the Levites, and the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.  
33 And if a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 But athe field of the common-land of their cities may not be bsold, for it is their perpetual possession.  

Lending to the Poor

35 ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and1 falls into poverty among you, then you shall ahelp him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.  
36 aTake no usury or interest from him; but bfear your God, that your brother may live with you.

Leviticus 25:32-34

Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, etc.—The Levites, having no possessions but their towns and their houses, the law conferred on them the same privileges that were granted to the lands of the other Israelites. A certain portion of the lands surrounding the Levitical cities was appropriated to them for the pasturage of their cattle and flocks (Numbers 35:4-5). This was a permanent endowment for the support of the ministry and could not be alienated for any time. The Levites, however, were at liberty to make exchanges among themselves; and a priest might sell his house, garden, and right of pasture to another priest, but not to an Israelite of another tribe (Jeremiah 41:7-9).
