Leviticus 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.

Leviticus 25:52 In-Context

50 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year when he sold himself to him until the year of jubilee, and the price of his release shall be according to the number of years; the time he was with his owner shall be rated as the time of a hired servant.

51 If there are still many years, according to them he shall refund out of the price paid for him the price for his redemption.

52 If there remain but a few years until the year of jubilee, he shall make a reckoning with him; according to the years of service due from him he shall refund the money for his redemption.

53 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him; he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.

54 And if he is not redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the year of jubilee, he and his children with him.
