Vayikra 25:52

52 And if there remain but few shanim unto the Shnat HaYovel, then he shall count that, and according unto his shanim shall he pay the price of his Geulah.

Vayikra 25:52 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:52

And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee,
&c.] Fewer than what he has served, then the less is given for his redemption: thus, for instance, in the above supposed case, if he has served fifteen years, and there remain but five to the year of jubilee: then he shall count with him, [and] according unto his years shall he
give him again the price of his redemption;
as in the fore mentioned case, he shall give him five pieces of money; and thus the law of justice and equity was maintained between the buyer and seller, the purchaser and the redeemer: in a like righteous manner the people of God are redeemed by Christ.

Vayikra 25:52 In-Context

50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the Shnat HaYovel; and the price of his release shall be based on the number of shanim, according to the value of a sakhir’s pay shall it be with him.

51 If there be yet many shanim remaining, according unto them he shall give for his Geulah the kesef that he was bought for.

52 And if there remain but few shanim unto the Shnat HaYovel, then he shall count that, and according unto his shanim shall he pay the price of his Geulah.

53 And as a sakhir hired shanah b’shanah shall he be with him; and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.

54 And if he be not redeemed in these shanim, then he shall be released in the Shnat HaYovel, both he, and his banim with him.
