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.

48 After he has given himself he has the right to be made free, for a price, by one of his brothers,

49 Or his father's brother, or the son of his father's brother, or any near relation; or if he gets money, he may make himself free.

50 And let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant.
