Levítico 25:53 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:53

[And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him
Being redeemable every year, and upon his redemption might quit his master's service, as an hireling may; and the price of his redemption to be valued according to the years he served, and as if he had been hired for so much a year; as well as he was to be treated in a kind and gentle manner, not as a bondman, but as if he was an hired servant, as follows: [and the other] shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight;
the person he is sold unto, his master, a sojourner or stranger, he might not use an Hebrew he had bought with any severity; for if an Hebrew master might not use an Hebrew servant with rigour, it was not by any means to be admitted in the commonwealth of Israel for a proselyte to use one in such a manner, and that openly, in the sight of an Israelite his neighbour; he looking on and not remonstrating against it, or acquainting the civil magistrate with it, who had it in his power to redress such a grievance, and ought to do it.

Levítico 25:53 In-Context

51 Si aún faltan muchos años para el jubileo, entonces devolverá una parte en proporción a lo que recibió cuando se vendió a sí mismo.

52 Si solo faltan unos cuantos años para el año de jubileo, entonces solo pagará una pequeña cantidad por su redención.

53 El extranjero deberá tratarlo como a un obrero con contrato anual. No permitirás que un extranjero trate a ninguno de tus hermanos israelitas con dureza.

54 Si algún israelita aún no ha sido rescatado cuando llegue el año de jubileo, él y sus hijos deberán ser puestos en libertad en ese tiempo.

55 Pues los hijos de Israel me pertenecen. Son mis siervos, a quienes saqué de la tierra de Egipto. Yo soy el Señor
su Dios.
