Levítico 25:26

26 "Y en caso de que un hombre no tenga redentor, pero consiga los medios suficientes para su redención,

Levítico 25:26 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:26

And if the man have none to redeem it
That is, none of kin that was able or willing to redeem it; otherwise no doubt there were persons in the land able to do it at any time, but none he was in connection with, or from whom he could expect such a favour:

and himself be able to redeem it;
or if his hand has got, and he has found a sufficiency for his redemption, as the Targum of Jonathan; not that he has found anything that was lost, as Chaskuni glosses it, but by one providence or another, by the blessing of God on his trade and business, is become rich, and it is in the power of his hand to redeem the possession he had sold, he might do it; but, as the same writer observes, he might not borrow and redeem, but must do it with what he had got of his own since the time of sale, and which is also the sense of others F4.

Levítico 25:26 In-Context

24 "Así que de toda tierra de vuestra posesión otorgaréis a la tierra el derecho de ser redimida.
25 "Si uno de tus hermanos llega a ser tan pobre que tiene que vender parte de su posesión, su pariente más cercano vendrá y redimirá lo que su hermano haya vendido.
26 "Y en caso de que un hombre no tenga redentor, pero consiga los medios suficientes para su redención,
27 entonces computará los años desde la venta y devolverá el resto al hombre a quien había vendido la tierra, y así volverá a su posesión.
28 "Pero si no ha hallado medios suficientes para recobrarla por sí mismo, entonces lo que ha vendido permanecerá en manos del comprador hasta el año de jubileo; pero en el jubileo saldrá de su poder, y el vendedor volverá a su posesión.
