Houses in villages were to be treated differently from houses in walled cities. The term villages
(ḥāṣēr) in all likelihood originally referred to an encampment of tents that were arranged in a circle. These would have been the residents of farmers. As such, they were inseparable from the land in which they worked. These village dwellings were subject to the regular rules of redemption and the jubilee.
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.
