Context25:29 “‘If a man sells a residential house in a walled city, 1 its right of redemption must extend 2 until one full year from its sale; 3 its right of redemption must extend to a full calendar year. 4 25:30 If it is not redeemed before the full calendar year is ended, 5 the house in the walled city 6 will belong without reclaim 7 to the one who bought it throughout his generations; it will not revert in the jubilee. 25:31 The houses of villages, however, 8 which have no wall surrounding them 9 must be considered as the field 10 of the land; they will have the right of redemption and must revert in the jubilee.
