Leviticus 25:52

52 si pauci ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum

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 supputatis dumtaxat annis a tempore venditionis suae usque ad annum iobeleum et pecunia qua venditus fuerat iuxta annorum numerum et rationem mercennarii supputata

51 si plures fuerint anni qui remanent usque ad iobeleum secundum hos reddet et pretium

52 si pauci ponet rationem cum eo iuxta annorum numerum et reddet emptori quod reliquum est annorum

53 quibus ante servivit mercedibus inputatis non adfliget eum violenter in conspectu tuo

54 quod si per haec redimi non potuerit anno iobeleo egredietur cum liberis suis
