Leviticus 25:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:28

But if he be not able to restore it to him
The overplus, or give him what is in proportion to the time he has had it, and yet to come:

then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that bought it
until the year of the jubilee;
continue in his possession, and he shall enjoy all the benefit of it till that year comes:

and in the jubilee it shall go out:
out of his hands or possession; or "he shall go out" ^F7, the purchaser shall go out of what he has bought, and shall have no more possession of it, but it shall come into the hands of the seller, and that without money, as the Targum of Jonathan adds:

and he shall return unto his possession;
the seller, and enter upon it and enjoy it as his own property, as before he sold it.

Leviticus 25:28 In-Context

26 And though he haue no man to redeme it for him, yet yf hys hande can get sufficyent to bye it oute agayne,

27 then let him counte how longe it hath bene solde, and delyuer the rest vnto him to whome he solde it, ad so he shall returne vnto his possession agayne.

28 But and yf his hande ca not get sufficiet to restore it to him agayne, then that whiche is solde shall remayne in the hande of him that hath boughte it, vntyll the horneyere: and in the horne yere it shall come out, and he shall returne vnto his possession agayne.

29 Yf a man sell a dwellynge house in a walled cytie he maye bye it out agayne any tyme withi a hole yere after it is solde: and that shalbe the space in which he maye redeme it agayne.

30 But and yf it be not bought out agayne within the space of a full yere then the housse in the walled cytie shalbe stablished for euer vnto him that boughte it and to his successoures after hi and shall not goo out in the trompet yere.
