Lévitique 25:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:33

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.

Lévitique 25:33 In-Context

31 Les maisons des villages non entourés de murs seront considérées comme des fonds de terre; elles pourront être rachetées, et l'acquéreur en sortira au jubilé.
32 Quant aux villes des Lévites et aux maisons qu'ils y posséderont, les Lévites auront droit perpétuel de rachat.
33 Celui qui achètera des Lévites une maison, sortira au jubilé de la maison vendue et de la ville où il la possédait; car les maisons des villes des Lévites sont leur propriété au milieu des enfants d'Israël.
34 Les champs situés autour des villes des Lévites ne pourront point se vendre; car ils en ont à perpétuité la possession.
35 Si ton frère devient pauvre, et que sa main fléchisse près de toi, tu le soutiendras; tu feras de même pour celui qui est étranger et qui demeure dans le pays, afin qu'il vive avec toi.
