47“ ‘And if the alien or ▼▼Or “and”
the temporary resident who are with you ▼▼Singular throughout this verse
⌞prosper⌟, ▼▼Literally “the hand produces”
but ▼▼Or “and”
your countryman ▼▼Or “brother”
who is with him becomes poor and he is sold to an alien, a temporary resident who is with you, or to a descendant of an alien’s clan, 48after he is sold redemption shall be for him; one of his brothers may redeem him, 49or his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him, or ⌞one of⌟ ▼▼Literally “from”
⌞his close relatives⌟ ▼▼Literally “the direct relative of his flesh”
from his clan may redeem him; or if ⌞he prospers⌟, ▼▼Literally “his hand produces”
he may redeem himself. 50And he shall calculate with his buyer from the year of ⌞his selling himself⌟ ▼▼Literally “his being sold for him”
until the Jubilee; and the value of his selling shall be according to the number of years—it shall be with him like ▼▼Or “as”
a hired worker’s days. 51If there are still many years, ⌞in keeping with them⌟ ▼▼Literally “to the mouth of them”
he shall restore his redemption ⌞in proportion to his purchase price⌟. ▼▼Literally “from the price of his acquisition”
52And if there are a few years left until the Year of Jubilee, then ▼▼Or “and”
he shall calculate for himself; he shall restore his redemption ⌞according to the number of his years⌟. ▼▼Literally “according to the mouth of his years”
53He shall be with him ⌞as a yearly hired worker⌟; ▼▼Literally “as a hired worker of a year in a year”
he shall not rule over him with ruthlessness ⌞in your ▼▼Singular
sight⌟. ▼▼Literally “to your eyes” or “for your eyes”
54And if he is not redeemed by ▼▼Or “in”
any of these ways, ▼▼Bracketed words provided from the sense of the context
then ▼▼Or “and”
he and his sons with him shall go out in the Year of Jubilee.
