'So for every ^(F1)piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.

'^(C1)If a fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor that he sells part of his property, then his closest ^(F1)redeemer is to come and buy back what his relative has sold.

'Or in case someone has no redeemer, but ^(F1)recovers to find sufficient means for its redemption,

^(C1)then he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his property.

'But if ^(F1)he has not found sufficient means to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hands of its purchaser until the year of jubilee; but at the jubilee it shall ^(F2)revert, so that ^(C1)he may return to his property.

'The houses of the villages, however, which have no surrounding wall, shall be regarded ^(F1)as open fields; they have redemption rights and ^(F2)revert in the jubilee.
