49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
49
An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them. Or if they prosper, they may redeem themselves.

54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
54
“ ‘Even if someone is not redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee,
55 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
