'Likewise, if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his redemption right remains valid until a full year after its sale; his right of redemption lasts a full year.

'But if it is not bought back for him within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city passes permanently to its purchaser throughout his generations; it does not ^(F1)revert in the jubilee.

'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.

'As for the ^(C1)cities of the Levites, the Levites have a permanent right of redemption for the houses of the cities which are their possession.

'What, therefore, ^(F1)belongs to the Levites may be redeemed, and a house sale ^(F2)in the city of this possession ^(F3)reverts in the jubilee, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel.

'^(C1)But pasture fields of their cities shall not be sold, for that is their permanent possession.
