Contextual Overview

23 And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for you are aliens and tenants with Me. 24 And you shall grant a redemption for the land in all the land of your possession. 25 If your brother has become poor and has sold his property, then comes one to redeem, a relative of him, and he redeems the thing sold by his brother. 26 But a man, when there is not one to redeem him, and his own hand has reached out, and he has enough for its redemption, 27 then he shall count the years since its sale, and shall give back the surplus to the man to whom he sold; and he shall return to his possession. 28 And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then the thing he sold shall be in the hand of him who buys it until the year of jubilee. And it shall go out in the jubilee, and he shall return to his possession. 29 And when a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his right of redemption shall be the end of the year of its sale; his right of redemption shall be a year of days. 30 And if it is not redeemed until a full year is complete, then the house in the walled city shall be established to perpetuity to its buyer, throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee. 31 But the houses of the villages which have no walls all around shall be counted as the field of the country; there are redemption rights to it. And it shall go out in the jubilee. 32 As to the cities of the Levites, houses of the cities of their possession, never ending redemption rights shall be to the Levites.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if the man have none to redeem it,.... That is, none of kin that was able or willing to redeem it; otherwise no doubt there were persons in the land able to do it at any time, but none he was in connection with, or from whom he could expect such a favour:

and himself be able to redeem it; or if his hand has got, and he has found a sufficiency for his redemption, as the Targum of Jonathan; not that he has found anything that was lost, as Chaskuni glosses it, but by one providence or another, by the blessing of God on his trade and business, is become rich, and it is in the power of his hand to redeem the possession he had sold, he might do it; but, as the same writer observes, he might not borrow and redeem, but must do it with what he had got of his own since the time of sale, and which is also the sense of others d.
