They could sell the remaining lease. All other personal property, like cattle, could also be owned, bought and sold. Though there is no such record of such forfeitures... one of the many laws they 'rewrote' to their advantage. | |

They were able to buy houses or other property with the wealth and spoils they had. When the Levites were not serving in their assigned courses in the temple, they returned to their homes. See Zacharias & Elisabeth - Luke 1:23. Whatever family property they had was still theirs to keep or sell as needed. | |

How can his father (also a Levite) own property when coming into the promised land if the Levites did not get a portion in the land? Can you clarify? | |
