Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) Not able to restore it to him.--That is, if the vendor is unable to return to the purchaser the probable value of the crops between the contemplated redemption and the next jubile year.Then that which is sold.--In that case the land thus sold is to continue with the purchaser till jubile, when it is to revert to the vendor without any repayment whatever. The design of this law was to secure to each family a permanent interest in the soil, and to prevent the accumulation of land on the part of the greedy few who are ever anxious to join field unto field, thus precluding the existence of landless beggars and too extensive landed proprietors. To the same effect were the laws of inheritance (Numbers 27:6-11; Numbers 36:5-13). Similar laws obtained among other nations of antiquity. Laws were enacted that the lots which were distributed among the inhabitants were neither to be sold nor bought. Solon made it a law that no one should acquire as much land as he wished; whilst Plato held that no individual person is to possess more than four times the quantity of land than the lowest owner, who had only a single lot.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut ifוְאִ֨ם (wə·’im)Conjunctive waw | ConjunctionStrong's 518: Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, nothe cannotלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noobtainמָֽצְאָ֜ה (mā·ṣə·’āh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 4672: To come forth to, appear, exist, to attain, find, acquire, to occur, meet, be presentenoughדֵּי֮ (dê)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1767: Sufficiency, enoughto repayהָשִׁ֣יב (hā·šîḇ)Verb - Hifil - Infinitive constructStrong's 7725: To turn back, in, to retreat, againhim,לוֹ֒ (lōw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's Hebrew what he soldמִמְכָּר֗וֹ (mim·kā·rōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 4465: Merchandise, a sellingwill remainוְהָיָ֣ה (wə·hā·yāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, bein possessionבְּיַד֙ (bə·yaḏ)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 3027: A handof the buyerהַקֹּנֶ֣ה (haq·qō·neh)Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 7069: To erect, create, to procure, by purchase, to ownuntilעַ֖ד (‘aḏ)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whilethe Yearשְׁנַ֣ת (šə·naṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 8141: A yearof Jubilee.הַיּוֹבֵ֑ל (hay·yō·w·ḇêl)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3104: A ram, ram's horn (a wind instrument)In the Jubilee,בַּיֹּבֵ֔ל (bay·yō·ḇêl)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3104: A ram, ram's horn (a wind instrument)however, it is to be released,וְיָצָא֙ (wə·yā·ṣā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximso that he may returnוְשָׁ֖ב (wə·šāḇ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7725: To turn back, in, to retreat, againto his property.לַאֲחֻזָּתֽוֹ׃ (la·’ă·ḥuz·zā·ṯōw)Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 272: Something seized, a possessionJump to PreviousAble Acquire Bought Buyer Buyeth Found Hand Hands Jubilee Kept Means Possession Price Property Purchaser Released Repay Restore Revert Sold Sufficiency Sufficient
