Leviticus 25:47-55

47‘Now if the 1means of a stranger or of a foreign resident with you becomes sufficient, and a countryman of yours becomes poor in relation to him and sells himself to a stranger who is residing with you, or to the descendants of a stranger’s family,

48then he shall have redemption right after he has been sold. One of his brothers may redeem him,

49or his uncle, or his uncle’s son may redeem him, or one of his blood relatives from his family may redeem him; or 23if he prospers, he may redeem himself.

50He then, with his purchaser, shall calculate from the year when he sold himself to him up to the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall correspond to the number of years calculated. It is like the days of a hired worker that he will be with him.

51If there are still many years remaining, 4he shall refund part of his purchase price in proportion to them for his own redemption;

52but if few years remain until the year of jubilee, he shall so calculate with him. In proportion to his years he is to refund the amount for his redemption.

53He shall be with him like a worker hired year by year; 5he shall not rule over him with 6severity in your sight.

54Even if he is not redeemed by 7these means, 8he shall still leave in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him.

55For the sons of Israel are My servants; they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
