Lev 25:25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

any of his kin

Num 5:8; Job 19:25; Jer 32:7, 8.

redeem [See also Lev 15:26, 29-32, 48-49, 54.]

Hebrew goel, Redemption (Kinsman type). Scofield Isaiah 59:20, note.

Lev 25:44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

heathen

Literally nations.

Lev 25:48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

redeem him

Gal 4:4, 5.

Lev 25:49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

nigh of kin

The Kinsman-Redeemer. The word goel is used to indicate both the redemption—"to free by paying," and the Redeemer—"the one who pays." The case of Ruth and Boaz (Ruth 2:1; 3:10-18; 4:1-10) perfectly illustrates this beautiful type of Christ. See "Redemption," Scofield Isaiah 59:20, note.

Lev 25:50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

reckon

Imputation. Lev 27:18. (Lev 25:50; Jas 2:23.)
