'Property' in the Bible

If a priest acquires a slave as property with his own money, he may eat with him. Those who were born in his house may eat his food.

So if you had sold property to a neighbor or had acquired land from your neighbor, you are not to cheat one another.

then let him account for the years for which it was sold, return the excess to the person to whom it was sold, and then return to his property.

If he's not able to redeem it back for himself, then what he sold is to remain in the hand of the buyer until the year of jubilee. In the jubilee, it is to be returned so he may return to his property.

If someone from the descendants of Levi redeems the houses in the cities that they own, they are to be returned in the jubilee, because the houses of the cities of the descendants of Levi are to remain their property among the Israelis.

You may also buy from resident aliens who live among you and their families who are with you, whom they fathered in your land. They may become your property.

You may give them as inherited property to your children after you, to own as properties in perpetuity. You may make bond slaves of them, but no one is to rule over his fellow Israeli with harshness.
