Contextual Overview

23 And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for you are aliens and tenants with Me. 24 And you shall grant a redemption for the land in all the land of your possession. 25 If your brother has become poor and has sold his property, then comes one to redeem, a relative of him, and he redeems the thing sold by his brother. 26 But a man, when there is not one to redeem him, and his own hand has reached out, and he has enough for its redemption, 27 then he shall count the years since its sale, and shall give back the surplus to the man to whom he sold; and he shall return to his possession. 28 And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then the thing he sold shall be in the hand of him who buys it until the year of jubilee. And it shall go out in the jubilee, and he shall return to his possession. 29 And when a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his right of redemption shall be the end of the year of its sale; his right of redemption shall be a year of days. 30 And if it is not redeemed until a full year is complete, then the house in the walled city shall be established to perpetuity to its buyer, throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no walls all around shall be counted as the field of the country; there are redemption rights to it. And it shall go out in the jubilee. 32 As to the cities of the Levites, houses of the cities of their possession, never ending redemption rights shall be to the Levites.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year,.... Either by the seller or any man of kin to him:

then the house that [is] in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generation; after twelve months were elapsed it was not redeemable by any, but to be held by the purchaser and his heirs for ever:

it shall not go out in the jubilee; from the purchaser or his heirs, to the seller or his heirs; for houses were not like lands, the gift of God, and held under him, but were built by men, and were their absolute property, and therefore they could dispose of them, and they that bought them could hold them after the above mentioned time; nor was there any danger of confounding tribes and families by retaining them: this law was made to encourage persons to settle in walled towns, to make and keep them populous, and to make owners of them careful not to sell them: the Jewish canon is this; when the day of the twelfth month is come, and it (the house) is not redeemed, it is absolutely his, whether he bought it or whether it was given him, as it is said,

Leviticus 25:30; and if in the beginning of the day of the twelfth month he (the purchaser) hides himself, that it may be confirmed to him or be his absolutely; Hillel, the elder, ordered that he (the seller) should put his money in the chamber (belonging to the sanhedrim) and break open the door, and go in; and when he would, he (the purchaser) might come, and take his money i; but otherwise, if he suffers this time to pass it is irredeemable, nor will the year of jubilee help him: the Jews except the city of Jerusalem from this law, because, they say, that does not belong to any tribe k.

i Misn. Eracin, c. 9. sect. 4. k T. Bab. Bava Kama, fol. 82. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Not go out - Because most of the houses in cities were occupied by artificers and traders whose wealth did not consist in lands.
