Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 25:47-55

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;

⁴⁸after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;

⁴⁹or his dod ·uncle·, or his dod ·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.

⁵⁰He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·. 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.

⁵¹If 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.

⁵²If 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.

⁵³As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him. He shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.

⁵⁴If he is not redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·, he, and his children with him. (LY: Maftir ·Conclusion·)

⁵⁵For to me the children of Israel God prevails are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt Abode of slavery. I am Adonai your God.
