Leviticus 25:47-55 ▼

47 And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with you attains [riches], and your brother with him has become poor, and he has been sold to a sojourner, a settler with you, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,

48 after he has been sold, there is a right of redemption for him; one of his brothers redeems him,

49 or his uncle or a son of his uncle redeems him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, redeems him, or [if] his own hand has attained [means] then he has been redeemed.

50 And he has reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him until the Year of Jubilee, and the money of his sale has been by the number of years; it is with him as the days of a hired worker.

51 If many years still [remain], he gives back his redemption [money] according to them, from the money of his purchase.

52 And if few are left of the years until the Year of Jubilee, then he has reckoned with him [and] he gives back his redemption [money] according to his years;

53 as a hired worker, year by year, he is with him, and he does not rule him with rigor before your eyes.

54 And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he has gone out in the Year of Jubilee, he and his sons with him.

55 For the sons of Israel [are] servants to Me; they [are] My servants whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH.”
