Leviticus 25:49-55 Modern English Version (MEV)

49. or either his uncle or his cousin may redeem him, or any who is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him. Or if he is able, he may redeem himself.

50. He shall calculate with him who bought him from the year that he was sold to the Year of Jubilee, and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant.

51. If there are still many years left until the Jubilee, he shall pay the price proportionately for his redemption as some of the price that he was bought for.

52. If there remain but a few years until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall calculate and pay the price proportionately for his redemption according to his years of service.

53. As a yearly hired servant he shall be treated, and the other shall not rule harshly over him in your sight.

54. If he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the Year of Jubilee, both he and his children with him.

55. For to Me the children of Israel are servants. They are My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
