Redemption from a Foreign Owner

47

If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:

48

After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:

49

Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself:

50

Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant.

51

If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.

52

If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years: and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years.

53

His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.

54

And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.

55

For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
