Leviticus 25:50 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:50

And he shall reckon with him that bought him
That is, either the man himself should reckon with him, or whoever undertook to redeem him: from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee;
and so count how many years he had served, and how many were yet to come; and by this it appears, that one thus sold was not released at the end of six years, or the sabbatical year did not free him: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years;
whether more or fewer, as after explained: according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him;
the time of service he had served his master shall be reckoned, as if he had been hired for so much a year; and according to the number of years he had been with him, so much per annum was to be deducted from the original purchase, and the rest to be made for his redemption to him that bought him.

Leviticus 25:50 In-Context

48 the Israelite will have the right to be bought back after they sold themselves. One of their relatives can buy them back:

49 their uncle or cousin can buy them back; one of their blood relatives from their family can buy them back; or they may be able to afford their own purchase.

50 The Israelite will calculate with their owner the time from the year they were sold until the Jubilee year. The price of their release will be based on the number of years they were with the owner, as in the case of a hired laborer.

51 If there are many years left before the Jubilee, the Israelite will pay for their purchase in proportion to their purchase price.

52 If only a few years are left, they will calculate that and pay for their purchase according to the years of service.
