Levítico 25:50-55

50 Y contará con el que lo compró, desde el año que se vendió a él hasta el año del jubileo; y ha de apreciarse el dinero de su venta conforme al número de los años, y se hará con él conforme al tiempo de un criado asalariado

51 Si aún fueren muchos años, conforme a ellos volverá para su rescate del dinero por el cual se vendió

52 Y si quedare poco tiempo hasta el año del jubileo, entonces contará con él, y devolverá su rescate conforme a sus años

53 Como con el tomado a salario anualmente hará con él; no se enseñoreará en él con aspereza delante de tus ojos

54 Mas si no se redimiere en esos años, en el año del jubileo saldrá, él, y sus hijos con él

55 Porque míos son los hijos de Israel; son esclavos míos, a los cuales saqué de la tierra de Egipto. YO SOY el SEÑOR vuestro Dios

Levítico 25:50-55 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 25

In this chapter the Israelites are directed, when come into the land of Canaan, to observe every seventh year as a sabbatical year, in which there was to be no tillage of the land, and yet there would be a sufficiency for man and beast, Le 25:1-7; and every fiftieth year as a year of jubilee, in which also there was to be no tillage of the land, and every man was to return to his possession or estate, which had been sold to another any time before this, Le 25:8-17; and a promise of safety and plenty in the seventh year is made to encourage the observance of it, Le 25:18-22; and several laws and rules are delivered out concerning the sale of lands, the redemption of them, and their return to their original owner in the year of jubilee, Le 25:23-28; and the sale of houses, and the redemption of them, and the difference between those in walled cities and those in villages, with respect thereunto, Le 25:29-31; and also concerning the houses of the cities of the Levites, and the fields of the suburbs of them, Le 25:32-34; to which are added some instructions about relieving decayed, persons, and lending and giving to them, without taking usury of them, Le 25:34-38; and other laws concerning the release of such Israelites as had sold themselves for servants to the Israelites, in the year of jubilee, since none but Heathens were to be bondmen and bondmaids for ever, Le 25:39-46; and of such who were sold to proselytes, Le 25:47-55.
