Leviticus 25:41 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:41

And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his
children with him
His sons and daughters, and his wife also, who is included in himself: if a man had a wife and children when he sold himself, or married afterwards, with his master's consent, he was obliged to maintain them F20; though they were not sold to him, nor properly his servants, and so had a right to go out with him: and shall return unto his own family;
his father's family, and that of his near relations, having been out of it during his time of servitude, and which the year of jubilee restored him to, ( Leviticus 25:10 ) ; and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return;
the estate his father left him by inheritance, and which he was obliged to sell in the time of his poverty, or which fell to him since by the death of his father; to this also he was restored in the year of jubilee, as is expressed in the text referred to.

Leviticus 25:41 In-Context

39 If your brother has grown poor with you, and sell himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a bond-servant.
40 As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you to the year of jubilee:
41 then shall he go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42 For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Mitzrayim: they shall not be sold as bondservants.
43 You shall not rule over him with rigor, but shall fear your God.
