Leviticus 25:31 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:31

But the houses of the villages, which have no walls round
about them
As there were many in the days of Joshua, the Scripture speaks of: the Jews suppose that such are meant, even though they were afterwards walled:

shall be counted as the fields of the country;
and subject to the same law as they:

they may be redeemed;
at any time before the year of jubilee, and if not, then

they shall go out in the jubilee;
to the original owners of them, freely, as Jarchi says, without paying anything for them.

Leviticus 25:31 In-Context

29 qui vendiderit domum intra urbis muros habebit licentiam redimendi donec unus impleatur annus
30 si non redemerit et anni circulus fuerit evolutus emptor possidebit eam et posteri eius in perpetuum et redimi non poterit etiam in iobeleo
31 sin autem in villa fuerit domus quae muros non habet agrorum iure vendetur si ante redempta non fuerit in iobeleo revertetur ad dominum
32 aedes Levitarum quae in urbibus sunt semper possunt redimi
33 si redemptae non fuerint in iobeleo revertentur ad dominos quia domus urbium leviticarum pro possessionibus sunt inter filios Israhel
