Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) Count the years of the sale thereof.--To regulate the price of the redemption money the crops were valued which the purchaser had enjoyed since he had acquired the property. This was deducted from what he originally paid for the plot of land, and the difference was returned to him by the vendor, to whom the patrimony reverted. Thus, for instance, if there were thirty years from the time the purchase was effected to the year of jubile, and the vendor or his next of kin redeemed the inheritance either ten or fifteen years after the transaction, he had to return to the purchaser either one-third or half of the purchase money, when the soil was restored to the seller or his next of kin. In the interest of the purchaser, however, it was enacted during the second Temple that the redemption should not take place before he had the benefit of the field for two productive years (see Leviticus 25:15), and that he could claim compensation for outlay on improvements.Restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it.--That is, an equitable estimate is to be made of what the land is likely to yield from the time of its redemption by the vendor to the jubile, which is to be allowed to the purchaser.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewhe shall calculateוְחִשַּׁב֙ (wə·ḥiš·šaḇ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2803: To think, accountthe yearsשְׁנֵ֣י (šə·nê)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 8141: A yearsince its sale,מִמְכָּר֔וֹ (mim·kā·rōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 4465: Merchandise, a sellingrepayוְהֵשִׁיב֙ (wə·hê·šîḇ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7725: To turn back, in, to retreat, againthe balanceהָ֣עֹדֵ֔ף (hā·‘ō·ḏêp̄)Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 5736: To remain over, be in excessto the manלָאִ֖ישׁ (lā·’îš)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male persontoל֑וֹ (lōw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's Hebrew whomאֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thathe sold it,מָֽכַר־ (mā·ḵar-)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4376: To selland 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 PreviousAccount Balance Calculate Count Determine Loss Pay Possession Property Reckon Reckoned Refund Rest Restore Sale Sold Surplus Thereof Time Value
