Leviticus 25 (WEBP)
[1] Yahweh said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
[2] “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to Yahweh.
[3] You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and gather in its fruits;
[4] but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to Yahweh. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
[5] What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and you shall not gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
[6] The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.
[7] For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
[8] “ ‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.
[9] Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.
[10] You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
[11] That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.
[12] For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
[13] “ ‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
[14] “ ‘If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.
[15] According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.
[16] According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.
[17] You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am Yahweh your God.
[18] “ ‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
[19] The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
[20] If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;”
[21] then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bear fruit for the three years.
[22] You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits from the old store until the ninth year. Until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
[23] “ ‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.
[24] In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
[25] “ ‘If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold.
[26] If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it,
[27] then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property.
[28] But if he isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
[29] “ ‘If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.
[30] If it isn’t redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee.
[31] But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be accounted for with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
[32] “ ‘Nevertheless, in the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem the houses in the cities of their possession at any time.
[33] The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
[34] But the field of the pasture lands of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.
[35] “ ‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support himself among you, then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident.
[36] Take no interest from him or profit; but fear your God, that your brother may live among you.
[37] You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
[38] I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
[39] “ ‘If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you, you shall not make him to serve as a slave.
[40] As a hired servant, and as a temporary resident, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee.
[41] Then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers.
[42] For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.
[43] You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
[44] “ ‘As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.
[45] Moreover, of the children of the aliens who live among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.
[46] You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession. Of them you may take your slaves forever, but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
[47] “ ‘If an alien or temporary resident with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger’s family,
[48] after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;
[49] or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself.
[50] He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; he shall be with him according to the time of a hired servant.
[51] If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
[52] If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption.
[53] As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him. He shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.
[54] If he isn’t redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee: he and his children with him.
[55] For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.

Leviticus 25 (KJVS)
[1] And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872 in mount H2022 Sinai H5514, saying H559 (8800),
[2] Speak H1696 (8761) unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478, and say H559 (8804) unto them, When ye come H935 (8799) into the land H776 which I give H5414 (8802) you, then shall the land H776 keep H7673 (8804) a sabbath H7676 unto the LORD H3068.
[3] Six H8337 years H8141 thou shalt sow H2232 (8799) thy field H7704, and six H8337 years H8141 thou shalt prune H2168 (8799) thy vineyard H3754, and gather H622 (8804) in the fruit H8393 thereof;
[4] But in the seventh H7637 year H8141 shall be a sabbath H7676 of rest H7677 unto the land H776, a sabbath H7676 for the LORD H3068: thou shalt neither sow H2232 (8799) thy field H7704, nor prune H2168 (8799) thy vineyard H3754.
[5] That which groweth of its own accord H5599 of thy harvest H7105 thou shalt not reap H7114 (8799), neither gather H1219 (8799) the grapes H6025 of thy vine undressed H5139: [for] it is a year H8141 of rest H7677 unto the land H776.
[6] And the sabbath H7676 of the land H776 shall be meat H402 for you; for thee, and for thy servant H5650, and for thy maid H519, and for thy hired servant H7916, and for thy stranger H8453 that sojourneth H1481 (8802) with thee,
[7] And for thy cattle H929, and for the beast H2416 that [are] in thy land H776, shall all the increase H8393 thereof be meat H398 (8800).
[8] And thou shalt number H5608 (8804) seven H7651 sabbaths H7676 of years H8141 unto thee, seven H7651 times H6471 seven H7651 years H8141; and the space H3117 of the seven H7651 sabbaths H7676 of years H8141 shall be unto thee forty H705 and nine H8672 years H8141.
[9] Then shalt thou cause the trumpet H7782 of the jubile H8643 to sound H5674 (8689) on the tenth H6218 [day] of the seventh H7637 month H2320, in the day H3117 of atonement H3725 shall ye make the trumpet H7782 sound H5674 (8686) throughout all your land H776.
[10] And ye shall hallow H6942 (8765) the fiftieth H2572 H8141 year H8141, and proclaim H7121 (8804) liberty H1865 throughout [all] the land H776 unto all the inhabitants H3427 (8802) thereof: it shall be a jubile H3104 unto you; and ye shall return H7725 (8804) every man H376 unto his possession H272, and ye shall return H7725 (8799) every man H376 unto his family H4940.
[11] A jubile H3104 shall that fiftieth H2572 H8141 year H8141 be unto you: ye shall not sow H2232 (8799), neither reap H7114 (8799) that which groweth H5599 of itself in it, nor gather H1219 (8799) [the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed H5139.
[12] For it [is] the jubile H3104; it shall be holy H6944 unto you: ye shall eat H398 (8799) the increase H8393 thereof out of the field H7704.
[13] In the year H8141 of this jubile H3104 ye shall return H7725 (8799) every man H376 unto his possession H272.
[14] And if thou sell H4376 (8799) ought H4465 unto thy neighbour H5997, or buyest H7069 (8800) [ought] of thy neighbour’s H5997 hand H3027, ye shall not oppress H3238 (8686) one H376 another H251:
[15] According to the number H4557 of years H8141 after H310 the jubile H3104 thou shalt buy H7069 (8799) of thy neighbour H5997, [and] according unto the number H4557 of years H8141 of the fruits H8393 he shall sell H4376 (8799) unto thee:
[16] According H6310 to the multitude H7230 of years H8141 thou shalt increase H7235 (8686) the price H4736 thereof, and according H6310 to the fewness H4591 (8800) of years H8141 thou shalt diminish H4591 (8686) the price H4736 of it: for [according] to the number H4557 [of the years] of the fruits H8393 doth he sell H4376 (8802) unto thee.
[17] Ye shall not therefore oppress H3238 (8686) one H376 another H5997; but thou shalt fear H3372 (8804) thy God H430: for I [am] the LORD H3068 your God H430.
[18] Wherefore ye shall do H6213 (8804) my statutes H2708, and keep H8104 (8799) my judgments H4941, and do H6213 (8804) them; and ye shall dwell H3427 (8804) in the land H776 in safety H983.
[19] And the land H776 shall yield H5414 (8804) her fruit H6529, and ye shall eat H398 (8804) your fill H7648, and dwell H3427 (8804) therein in safety H983.
[20] And if ye shall say H559 (8799), What shall we eat H398 (8799) the seventh H7637 year H8141? behold, we shall not sow H2232 (8799), nor gather H622 (8799) in our increase H8393:
[21] Then I will command H6680 (8765) my blessing H1293 upon you in the sixth H8345 year H8141, and it shall bring forth H6213 (8804) fruit H8393 for three H7969 years H8141.
[22] And ye shall sow H2232 (8804) the eighth H8066 year H8141, and eat H398 (8804) [yet] of old H3465 fruit H8393 until the ninth H8671 year H8141; until her fruits H8393 come in H935 (8800) ye shall eat H398 (8799) [of] the old H3465 [store].
[23] The land H776 shall not be sold H4376 (8735) for ever H6783: for the land H776 [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers H1616 and sojourners H8453 with me.
[24] And in all the land H776 of your possession H272 ye shall grant H5414 (8799) a redemption H1353 for the land H776.
[25] If thy brother H251 be waxen poor H4134 (8799), and hath sold H4376 (8804) away [some] of his possession H272, and if any of his kin H7138 come H935 (8804) to redeem H1350 (8802) it, then shall he redeem H1350 (8804) that which his brother H251 sold H4465.
[26] And if the man H376 have none to redeem H1350 (8802) it, and himself H3027 be able H1767 H5381 (8689) to redeem H4672 (8804) H1353 it;
[27] Then let him count H2803 (8765) the years H8141 of the sale H4465 thereof, and restore H7725 (8689) the overplus H5736 (8802) unto the man H376 to whom he sold H4376 (8804) it; that he may return H7725 (8804) unto his possession H272.
[28] But if he H3027 be not able H1767 to restore H4672 (8804) H7725 (8687) [it] to him, then that which is sold H4465 shall remain in the hand H3027 of him that hath bought H7069 (8802) it until the year H8141 of jubile H3104: and in the jubile H3104 it shall go out H3318 (8804), and he shall return H7725 (8804) unto his possession H272.
[29] And if a man H376 sell H4376 (8799) a dwelling H4186 house H1004 in a walled H2346 city H5892, then he may redeem H1353 it within a whole H8552 (8800) year H8141 after it is sold H4465; [within] a full year H3117 may he redeem H1353 it.
[30] And if it be not redeemed H1350 (8735) within the space H4390 (8800) of a full H8549 year H8141, then the house H1004 that [is] in the walled H2346 city H5892 shall be established H6965 (8804) for ever H6783 to him that bought H7069 (8802) it throughout his generations H1755: it shall not go out H3318 (8799) in the jubile H3104.
[31] But the houses H1004 of the villages H2691 which have no wall H2346 round about H5439 them shall be counted H2803 (8735) as the fields H7704 of the country H776: they may be redeemed H1353, and they shall go out H3318 (8799) in the jubile H3104.
[32] Notwithstanding the cities H5892 of the Levites H3881, [and] the houses H1004 of the cities H5892 of their possession H272, may the Levites H3881 redeem H1353 at any time H5769.
[33] And if a man purchase H1350 (8799) of the Levites H3881, then the house H1004 that was sold H4465, and the city H5892 of his possession H272, shall go out H3318 (8804) in [the year of] jubile H3104: for the houses H1004 of the cities H5892 of the Levites H3881 [are] their possession H272 among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478.
[34] But the field H7704 of the suburbs H4054 of their cities H5892 may not be sold H4376 (8735); for it [is] their perpetual H5769 possession H272.
[35] And if thy brother H251 be waxen poor H4134 (8799), and fallen in decay H4131 (8804) with thee H3027; then thou shalt relieve H2388 (8689) him: [yea, though he be] a stranger H1616, or a sojourner H8453; that he may live H2416 with thee.
[36] Take H3947 (8799) thou no usury H5392 of him, or increase H8636: but fear H3372 (8804) thy God H430; that thy brother H251 may live H2416 with thee.
[37] Thou shalt not give H5414 (8799) him thy money H3701 upon usury H5392, nor lend H5414 (8799) him thy victuals H400 for increase H4768.
[38] I [am] the LORD H3068 your God H430, which brought you forth H3318 (8689) out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, to give H5414 (8800) you the land H776 of Canaan H3667, [and] to be your God H430.
[39] And if thy brother H251 [that dwelleth] by thee be waxen poor H4134 (8799), and be sold H4376 (8738) unto thee; thou shalt not compel H5647 (8799) him to serve H5656 as a bondservant H5650:
[40] [But] as an hired servant H7916, [and] as a sojourner H8453, he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve H5647 (8799) thee unto the year H8141 of jubile H3104:
[41] And [then] shall he depart H3318 (8804) from thee, [both] he and his children H1121 with him, and shall return H7725 (8804) unto his own family H4940, and unto the possession H272 of his fathers H1 shall he return H7725 (8799).
[42] For they [are] my servants H5650, which I brought forth H3318 (8689) out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714: they shall not be sold H4376 (8735) as H4466 bondmen H5650.
[43] Thou shalt not rule H7287 (8799) over him with rigour H6531; but shalt fear H3372 (8804) thy God H430.
[44] Both thy bondmen H5650, and thy bondmaids H519, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen H1471 that are round about H5439 you; of them shall ye buy H7069 (8799) bondmen H5650 and bondmaids H519.
[45] Moreover of the children H1121 of the strangers H8453 that do sojourn H1481 (8802) among you, of them shall ye buy H7069 (8799), and of their families H4940 that [are] with you, which they begat H3205 (8689) in your land H776: and they shall be your possession H272.
[46] And ye shall take them as an inheritance H5157 (8694) for your children H1121 after H310 you, to inherit H3423 (8800) [them for] a possession H272; they shall be your bondmen H5647 (8799) for ever H5769: but over your brethren H251 the children H1121 of Israel H3478, ye shall not rule H7287 (8799) one H376 over another H251 with rigour H6531.
[47] And if a sojourner H1616 or stranger H8453 wax rich H5381 (8686) by thee H3027, and thy brother H251 [that dwelleth] by him wax poor H4134 (8802), and sell H4376 (8738) himself unto the stranger H1616 [or] sojourner H8453 by thee, or to the stock H6133 of the stranger’s H1616 family H4940:
[48] After H310 that he is sold H4376 (8738) he may be redeemed again H1353; one H259 of his brethren H251 may redeem H1350 (8799) him:
[49] Either his uncle H1730, or his uncle’s H1730 son H1121, may redeem H1350 (8799) him, or [any] that is nigh H7607 of kin H1320 unto him of his family H4940 may redeem H1350 (8799) him; or if he be able H5381 (8689), he may redeem H1350 (8738) himself H3027.
[50] And he shall reckon H2803 (8765) with him that bought H7069 (8802) him from the year H8141 that he was sold H4376 (8736) to him unto the year H8141 of jubile H3104: and the price H3701 of his sale H4465 shall be according unto the number H4557 of years H8141, according to the time H3117 of an hired servant H7916 shall it be with him.
[51] If [there be] yet many H7227 years H8141 [behind], according H6310 unto them he shall give again H7725 (8686) the price of his redemption H1353 out of the money H3701 that he was bought H4736 for.
[52] And if there remain H7604 (8738) but few H4592 years H8141 unto the year H8141 of jubile H3104, then he shall count H2803 (8765) with him, [and] according H6310 unto his years H8141 shall he give him again H7725 (8686) the price of his redemption H1353.
[53] [And] as a yearly H8141 H8141 hired servant H7916 shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule H7287 (8799) with rigour H6531 over him in thy sight H5869.
[54] And if he be not redeemed H1350 (8735) in these [years], then he shall go out H3318 (8804) in the year H8141 of jubile H3104, [both] he, and his children H1121 with him.
[55] For unto me the children H1121 of Israel H3478 [are] servants H5650; they [are] my servants H5650 whom I brought forth H3318 (8689) out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714: I [am] the LORD H3068 your God H430.
Young’s Literal Translation
Leviticus 25 (YLT)
[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in mount Sinai, saying,
[2] ‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, then hath the land kept a sabbath to Jehovah.
[3] ‘Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost prune thy vineyard, and hast gathered its increase,
[4] and in the seventh year a sabbath of rest is to the land, a sabbath to Jehovah; thy field thou dost not sow, and thy vineyard thou dost not prune;
[5] the spontaneous growth of thy harvest thou dost not reap, and the grapes of thy separated thing thou dost not gather, a year of rest it is to the land.
[6] ‘And the sabbath of the land hath been to you for food, to thee, and to thy man-servant, and to thy handmaid, and to thy hireling, and to thy settler, who are sojourning with thee;
[7] and to thy cattle, and to the beast which is in thy land, is all thine increase for food.
[8] ‘And thou hast numbered to thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times, and the days of the seven sabbaths of years have been to thee nine and forty years,
[9] and thou hast caused a trumpet of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month; in the day of the atonements ye do cause a trumpet to pass over through all your land;
[10] and ye have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and ye have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; a jubilee it is to you; and ye have turned back each unto his possession; yea, each unto his family ye do turn back.
[11] ‘A jubilee it is, the fiftieth year, a year it is to you; ye sow not, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;
[12] for a jubilee it is, holy it is to you; out of the field ye eat its increase;
[13] in the year of this jubilee ye turn back each unto his possession.
[14] ‘And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest from the hand of thy fellow, ye do not oppress one another;
[15] by the number of years after the jubilee thou dost buy from thy fellow; by the number of the years of increase he doth sell to thee;
[16] according to the multitude of the years thou dost multiply its price, and according to the fewness of the years thou dost diminish its price; for a number of increases he is selling to thee;
[17] and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been afraid of thy God; for I am Jehovah your God.
[18] ‘And ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep, and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently,
[19] and the land hath given its fruit, and ye have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.
[20] ‘And when ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo, we do not sow, nor gather our increase?
[21] then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it hath made the increase for three years;
[22] and ye have sown the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase, ye do eat the old.
[23] ‘And the land is not sold-to extinction, for the land is Mine, for sojourners and settlers are ye with Me;
[24] and in all the land of your possession a redemption ye do give to the land.
[25] ‘When thy brother becometh poor, and hath sold his possession, then hath his redeemer who is near unto him come, and he hath redeemed the sold thing of his brother;
[26] and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath attained, and he hath found as sufficient for its redemption,
[27] then he hath reckoned the years of its sale, and hath given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold it, and he hath returned to his possession.
[28] ‘And if his hand hath not found sufficiency to give back to him, then hath his sold thing been in the hand of him who buyeth it till the year of jubilee; and it hath gone out in the jubilee, and he hath returned to his possession.
[29] ‘And when a man selleth a dwelling-house in a walled city, then hath his right of redemption been until the completion of a year from its selling; days-is his right of redemption;
[30] and if it is not redeemed until the fulness to him of a perfect year, then hath the house which is in a walled city been established to extinction to the buyer of it, to his generations; it goeth not out in the jubilee;
[31] and a house of the villages which have no wall round about, on the field of the country is reckoned; redemption is to it, and in the jubilee it goeth out.
[32] ‘As to cities of the Levites-houses of the cities of their possession-redemption age-during is to the Levites;
[33] as to him who redeemeth from the Levites, both the sale of a house and the city of his possession have gone out in the jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.
[34] And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it is to them.
[35] ‘And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he hath lived with thee;
[36] thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee;
[37] thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food;
[38] I am Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become your God.
[39] ‘And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;
[40] as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee,-
[41] then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back.
[42] ‘For they are My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold with the sale of a servant;
[43] thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.
[44] ‘And thy man-servant and thy handmaid whom thou hast are of the nations who are round about you; of them ye buy man-servant and handmaid,
[45] and also of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, of them ye buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for a possession;
[46] and ye have taken them for inheritance to your sons after you, to occupy for a possession; to the age ye lay service upon them, but upon your brethren, the sons of Israel, one with another, thou dost not rule over him with rigour.
[47] ‘And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with thee attaineth riches, and thy brother with him hath become poor, and he hath been sold to a sojourner, a settler with thee, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,
[48] after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to him; one of his brethren doth redeem him,
[49] or his uncle, or a son of his uncle, doth redeem him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, doth redeem him, or-his own hand hath attained-then he hath been redeemed.
[50] ‘And he hath reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him till the year of jubilee, and the money of his sale hath been by the number of years; as the days of an hireling it is with him.
[51] ‘If yet many years, according to them he giveth back his redemption money, from the money of his purchase.
[52] ‘And if few are left of the years till the year of jubilee, then he hath reckoned with him, according to his years he doth give back his redemption money;
[53] as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth not rule him with rigour before thine eyes.
[54] ‘And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he hath gone out in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him.
[55] For to Me are the sons of Israel servants; My servants they are, whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, am your God.
