House in a walled city — redeem within a year§1

1A house in a walled city may be redeemed within a year; afterward it is the buyer’s. Grace’s time is short. Do not sleep.

Domus in urbe murata intra annum redimatur; postea firma emptori. Tempus gratiae breve. Noli dormire.

House in an unwalled village like a field§2

2A house in an unwalled village is like a field — always redeemable. Open humility to the Redeemer. Christ is our field.

Latin · §2

Domus in vico sine muro sicut ager — semper redimi potest. Humilitas aperta redemptori. Christus ager noster.

3 Levitical houses keep perpetual redemption. Priesthood is not alienated. Homilia XV CLOSEOUT. Amen.

Latin · §3

Domus Levitarum ius redemptionis perpetuum. Sacerdotium non alienatur. Amen.
