Levítico 25:26

26 Si el hombre no tiene a nadie que pague el rescate a su favor, pero él mismo llega a prosperar y consigue lo suficiente para rescatar su propiedad,

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 Por tanto, en el país habrá la posibilidad de recobrar todo terreno que haya sido heredad familiar.

25 »En el caso de que uno de tus compatriotas se empobrezca y tenga que vender parte de su heredad familiar, su pariente más cercano rescatará lo que su hermano haya vendido.

26 Si el hombre no tiene a nadie que pague el rescate a su favor, pero él mismo llega a prosperar y consigue lo suficiente para rescatar su propiedad,

27 deberá calcular el número de años transcurridos desde la venta y reembolsar el saldo a quien se la haya comprado. Así podrá volver a su propiedad.

28 Pero si no consigue lo suficiente para rescatarla, la tierra quedará en posesión del comprador hasta el año del jubileo, cuando el que la vendió la recobrará, y esta volverá a su heredad familiar.
