Context — The Year of Jubileegenerated

52If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.
53He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
54Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
55For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 25:54 is part of a larger discussion on the Year of Jubilee, a time when debts are forgiven, and people are freed from servitude. This law emphasizes the importance of familial ties and the right to freedom, ensuring that even if a person is not redeemed through specified means, they will still be released during this significant year. This reflects God's concern for justice and restoration among His people.

The Key Word יָצָא, ve.ya.Tza'generated

The verb יָצָא (ya.Tza') means 'to go out' or 'to come out.' It is a Qal verb in the sequential perfect tense, indicating a completed action. In this context, it emphasizes the act of being set free, highlighting the transition from servitude to liberation.

This word carries the connotation of emergence or departure from a previous state, which is significant during the Year of Jubilee when individuals are released from their obligations and restored to their families.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb יִגָּאֵ֖ל, he will be redeemed, governs the sentence, with two clauses following it: one detailing the conditions of redemption and the other stating the outcome of liberation. The structure emphasizes the conditional nature of redemption and the assured outcome of freedom.

The Hebrew word order places the conditions first, which highlights the importance of the specified ways of redemption before introducing the liberation that follows.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יָצָא as ἐχελεύσεται, which means 'he will go out.' This choice reflects a straightforward rendering of the Hebrew, maintaining the focus on the act of liberation during the Jubilee.

The use of ἀφέσεως for הַיֹּבֵ֔ל indicates a focus on the concept of release or forgiveness, aligning closely with the themes of restoration found in the Hebrew text.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree closely in their wording, with a notable difference in the Samaritan Pentateuch, which uses יובל (ram) instead of הַיֹּבֵ֔ל. This reflects a variation in terminology but does not alter the overall meaning of the verse.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Jubilee

A joyful shout or clangour of trumpets, the name of the great semi-centennial festival of the Hebrews. It lasted for a year. During this year the land was to be fallow, and the Israelites were only permitted to gather the spontaneous produce of the fields (Lev. 25:11, 12). All landed property during that year reverted to its original owner (13-34; 27:16-24), and all who were slaves were set free (25:39-54), and all debts were remitted.

The return of the jubilee year was proclaimed by a blast of trumpets which sounded throughout the land. There is no record in Scripture of the actual observance of this festival, but there are numerous allusions (Isa. 5:7, 8, 9, 10; 61:1, 2; Ezek. 7:12, 13;

A Hebrew festival, celebrated in every fiftieth year, which of course occurred after seven weeks of years, or seven times seven years, Le 25:10. Its name Jubilee, sounding or flowing, was significant of the joyful trumpet-peals that announced its arrival. During this year no one sowed or reaped; but all were satisfied with what the earth and the trees produced spontaneously. Each resumed possession of his inheritance, whether it were sold, mortgaged, or otherwise alienated; and Hebrew servants of every description were set free, with their wives an children, Le 25:1-55. The first nine days were spent in festivities, during which no one worked, and every one wore a crown on his head. On the tenth day, which was the day of solemn expiation, the Sanhedrin ordered the trumpets to…
