## Leviticus 25:35-38 in Context (Verses 32–41 KJV)
 
 [32 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/32) Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, *and* the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/33) And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in *the year of* jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites *are* their possession among the children of Israel.*
 
 [34 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/34) But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it *is* their perpetual possession.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/35) ¶ And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: *yea, though he be* a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.**
 
 [36 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/36) Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/37) Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/38) I *am* the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, *and* to be your God.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/39) ¶ And if thy brother *that dwelleth* by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:*
 
 [40 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/40) *But* as an hired servant, *and* as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, *and* shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
 
 [41 ](/kjv/leviticus/25/41) And *then* shall he depart from thee, *both* he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
