‘Likewise, if H3588 a man H376 sells H4376 a dwelling H4186 house H1004 in a walled H2346 city H5892, then his redemption H1353 right H1353 remains H1961 valid until H5704 a full H8552 year H8141 after H4480 its sale H4465; his right H1353 of H1353 redemption H1353 lasts H1961 a full H3117 year H3117.
