SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:33
Y el que comprare de los levitas, la venta de la casa, y de la ciudad de su posesión saldrá en el jubileo; por cuanto las casas de las ciudades de los levitas es la posesión de ellos entre los hijos de Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. And if a man purchase of the Levites , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-34 - If the land were not redeemed before the year of jubilee, it the returned to him that sold or mortgaged it. This was a figure of the free grace of God in Christ; by which, and not by any price or merit of our own, we are restored to the favour of God. Houses in walled citie were more the fruits of their own industry than land in the country which was the direct gift of God's bounty; therefore if a man sold house in a city, he might redeem it only within a year after the sale This encouraged strangers and proselytes to come and settle among them.
