READ IN CONTEXT · BSB

Leviticus 25

³³ So 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.

³⁴ But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.

³⁵ Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.

³⁶ Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.

³⁷ You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
