Leviticus 25:47-52 ▼

47 |If a resident alien or traveler becomes rich, but your relative who lives next to him is so poor that he sells himself to that resident alien or traveler among you or to a member of the resident alien's family,

48 he has the right to be redeemed after he sells himself. One of his brothers may redeem him.

49 His uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him or any blood relative from his tribe may redeem him. If he becomes rich, then he may redeem himself.

50 |He is to bring an accounting to the one who bought him, starting from the year he had sold himself until the year of jubilee. The price of his sale is to correspond to the number of years comparable to the time a hired servant stays with him.

51 If there are still many years left, he is to refund the cost of his redemption.

52 But if only a few years are left until the year of jubilee, he is to bring an accounting of the years that he is to refund for his redemption.
