Sekalipun dari antara orang Lewi yang melakukan penebusan, tetapi rumah yang terjual di kota miliknya itu haruslah bebas dalam tahun Yobel, karena segala rumah di kota-kota orang Lewi adalah milik mereka masing-masing di tengah-tengah orang Israel.
Maka tiap-tiap orang, hanya jikalau ia dari pada orang Lewi, itu boleh menebusnya; tetapi rumah yang dijual dalam barang suatu negeri milik mereka itu, ia itu dikembalikan juga pada tahun yobel dari sendirinya, karena segala rumah dalam negeri-negeri orang Lewi itulah milik mereka turun-temurun di antara segala bani Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if a man purchase of the Levites,.... An house or city, as Jarchi, and which the following clause confirms, that is, if a common Israelite made such a purchase, then it was redeemable, but if a Levite purchased of a Levite, then, as the same writer observes, it was absolutely irredeemable:
then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in [the year of] jubilee; to the original owner of it, as fields and houses in villages sold by the Israelites
for the houses of the cities of the Levites [are] their possession among the children of Israel; and their only possession, and therefore if those, when sold, were irredeemable, they would entirely be without any; and hence care is taken they should not; so Jarchi observes, that the Levites had no possession of fields and vineyards, only cities to dwell in, and their suburbs; wherefore cities were to them instead of fields, and their redemption was as that of fields, that so their inheritance might not be broken off from them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Rather, And concerning the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, etc. If one of the Levites redeems a house in the city, etc. The meaning appears to be, if a Levite redeemed a house which had been sold to a person of a different tribe by another Levite, it was to revert in the Jubilee to the latter Levite as its original possessor. The purchaser of a Levite’s house was in fact only in the condition of a tenant at will, while the fields attached to the Levitical cities could never be alienated, even for a time.
For the application of the law of Jubilee to lands dedicated to the service of the sanctuary, see Leviticus 27:16-25.
