Leviticus 25:34 Context
32Notwithstanding, the cities of the Leuites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Leuites redeeme at any time. 33And if a man purchase of the Leuites, then the house that was sold, and the citie of his possession shall goe out in the yeere of Iubile: for the houses of the cities of the Leuites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetuall possession. 35¶ And if thy brother bee waxen poore, and fallen in decay with thee, then thou shalt relieue him, yea though he be a stranger, or a soiourner, that hee may liue with thee. 36Take thou no vsurie of him, or increase: but feare thy God, that thy brother may liue with thee.

Wesley's Notes for Leviticus 25:34
25:34 May not be sold - Not sold at all, partly, because it was of absolute necessity for them for the keeping of their cattle, and partly because these were no enclosures, but common fields, in which all the Levites that lived in such a city had an interest, and therefore no particular Levite could dispose of his part in it.
