Leviticus 25:48-50

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁸ The poor man has the right to be bought back and become free. One of his relatives may buy him back. ⁴⁹ His uncle or his uncle’s son may buy him back. One of his close relatives may buy him back. Or if he gets enough money, he may pay the money himself. Then he will be free again.

⁵⁰ “‘How do you decide the price? You must count the years from the time he sold himself to the foreigner. And count up to the next year of Jubilee. Use that number to decide the price. This is because the person really only hired himself out for a certain number of years.
