The Hebrew word for "years" is "שָׁנִים" (shanim), which emphasizes the cyclical nature of time in the Hebrew calendar. The concept of "a few" years remaining underscores the urgency and the limited window of opportunity for redemption. Historically, this reflects the agrarian society's dependence on cycles and seasons, where time was measured in relation to agricultural and religious events.<p><b>until the Year of Jubilee</b><br />The "Year of Jubilee" (יֹבֵל, yovel) was a significant event occurring every 50th year, as described in <a href="/leviticus/25.htm">Leviticus 25</a>. It was a time when slaves were freed, debts were forgiven, and land was returned to its original owners. This concept is deeply rooted in the idea of divine justice and mercy, reflecting God's desire for social equality and economic reset. The Jubilee year served as a reminder of God's sovereignty over the land and His provision for His people, encouraging them to trust in His timing and provision.<p><b>he is to calculate</b><br />The Hebrew verb "חָשַׁב" (chashav) means to think, plan, or calculate. This implies a deliberate and thoughtful process, requiring the individual to assess the value of the remaining years until the Jubilee. It reflects the importance of wisdom and discernment in financial and social dealings, encouraging believers to act with integrity and foresight.<p><b>and pay his redemption</b><br />The term "redemption" (גְּאֻלָּה, ge'ullah) is central to the biblical narrative, symbolizing deliverance and freedom. In this context, it refers to the act of buying back one's freedom or property. This concept is a foreshadowing of the ultimate redemption through Christ, who paid the price for humanity's freedom from sin. The act of paying for redemption highlights the cost and value of freedom, both physically and spiritually.<p><b>according to his remaining years</b><br />This phrase emphasizes fairness and proportionality in the redemption process. The calculation based on "remaining years" ensures that the price paid is just and equitable, reflecting God's justice. It serves as a reminder that God's laws are designed to protect the vulnerable and maintain social harmony. The principle of proportionality in redemption is a call for believers to practice fairness and justice in their own lives, mirroring God's character.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/25-52.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">If</span><br /><span class="heb">וְאִם־</span> <span class="translit">(wə·’im-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_518.htm">Strong's 518: </a> </span><span class="str2">Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, not</span><br /><br /><span class="word">only a few</span><br /><span class="heb">מְעַ֞ט</span> <span class="translit">(mə·‘aṭ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective -
