SCRIPTURE

"And if he be not redeemed by these [means], then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he, and his children with him." — Leviticus 25:54 (ASV)

If he be not redeemed in these years. —Better, If he is not redeemed by these, that is, by the relations or the means indicated in Leviticus 25:48-49, he is to go out free in the year of Jubilee. (See Leviticus 25:41.) The heathen is to submit to the laws of Jubilee as much as the Hebrew.
