Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) According to the number of years . . . thou shalt buy.--The promised land, according to the Law, was to be divided by lot in equal parts among the Israelites. The plot which should thus come into the possession of each family is to be absolutely inalienable, and for ever continue to be the property of the descendants of the original possessor. Hence it is here enacted that where a proprietor being pressed by poverty is compelled to sell a field, it could not be bought of him for a longer period than up to the time of the next jubile, when it reverted to the original possessor, or to his family. In purchasing a plot of and the purchaser is to reckon how many years had elapsed since the last jubile, since this would show him the exact period during which he would be entitled to hold it. It thus corresponds to what with us is buying the unexpired term of a lease.Of thy neighbour.--From this it was deduced that the Israelite who was reduced to poverty could only sell his land to a fellow-Israelite, but not to a Gentile.The number of years of the fruit he shall sell.--Whilst the purchaser is to take into consideration the number of years which the lease has still to run, the vendor has to consider how many sabbatical years there will be from the time of the sale till next jubile, since the sale was not so much of the land as of the produce of so many years. Hence the fallow sabbatical years are not to be included. As the plural "number of years "is here used, the authorities during the second Temple concluded that the vendor could not sell it for less than two productive years, exclusive of a sabbatical year, a year of barrenness, and of the first harvest if the purchase was effected shortly before the seventh month, with the ripe produce in the field.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewYou are to buyתִּקְנֶ֖ה (tiq·neh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 7069: To erect, create, to procure, by purchase, to ownfromמֵאֵ֣ת (mê·’êṯ)Preposition-m | Direct object markerStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative caseyour neighborעֲמִיתֶ֑ךָ (‘ă·mî·ṯe·ḵā)Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 5997: Companionship, a comrade, kindred manaccording to the numberבְּמִסְפַּ֤ר (bə·mis·par)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4557: A number, definite, indefinite, narrationof yearsשָׁנִים֙ (šā·nîm)Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 8141: A yearsinceאַחַ֣ר (’a·ḥar)AdverbStrong's 310: The hind or following partthe last Jubilee;הַיּוֹבֵ֔ל (hay·yō·w·ḇêl)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3104: A ram, ram's horn (a wind instrument)he is to sellיִמְכָּר־ (yim·kār-)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4376: To sellto youלָֽךְ׃ (lāḵ)Preposition | second person feminine singularStrong's Hebrew according to the numberבְּמִסְפַּ֥ר (bə·mis·par)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4557: A number, definite, indefinite, narrationof harvestתְבוּאֹ֖ת (ṯə·ḇū·’ōṯ)Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 8393: Product, revenueyears {remaining}.שְׁנֵֽי־ (šə·nê-)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 8141: A yearJump to PreviousBasis Buy Corresponding Countryman Crops Earth Exchange Fellow Friend Fruits Goods Harvesting Increase Jubilee Neighbor Neighbour Neighbours Produce Relation Sell Times
