Leviticus 25:29-30

Release of Houses

25:29 “‘If a man sells a residential house in a walled city, its right of redemption must extend until one full year from its sale; its right of redemption must extend to a full calendar year. 25:30 If it is not redeemed before the full calendar year is ended, the house in the walled city will belong without reclaim to the one who bought it throughout his generations; it will not revert in the jubilee.


tn Heb “a house of a residence of a walled city.”

tn Heb “shall be.”

tn Heb “of its sale.”

tn Heb “days its right of redemption shall be” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 176).

tn Heb “until fulfilling to it a complete year.’

tn Heb “the house which [is] in the city which to it [is] a wall.” The Kethib has לֹא (lo’, “no, not”) rather than לוֹ (lo, “to it”) which is the Qere.

tn See the note on v. 23 above.
