Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(49) Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him.--That is, any of his relatives are to redeem him, which is not the case when an Israelite sells himself to one of his own nation. Hence the Jewish canons enacted that "if a Hebrew is sold to a stranger, and is unable to redeem himself, his kinsmen must redeem, nay, the Sanhedrin are to compel his kinsmen to redeem him lest he should be lost among the heathen. If his kindred do not redeem him, and if he cannot redeem himself, every man of Israel is commanded to redeem him. But if he is sold to an Israelite his kindred may not redeem him, nor may he borrow money to redeem himself, nor redeem himself by instalments." In accordance with this injunction we find the Jews declare "we after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews which were sold unto the heathen, and will ye even sell your brethren, or shall they be sold unto us?" (Nehemiah 5:8).Parallel Commentaries ...Hebreweitherאוֹ־ (’ōw-)ConjunctionStrong's 176: Desire, ifhis uncleדֹד֞וֹ (ḏō·ḏōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1730: To love, a love-token, lover, friend, an uncleorא֤וֹ (’ōw)ConjunctionStrong's 176: Desire, ifcousin,בֶן־ (ḇen-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1121: A sonorאֽוֹ־ (’ōw-)ConjunctionStrong's 176: Desire, ifany close relativeמִשְּׁאֵ֧ר (miš·šə·’êr)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 7607: Flesh, as living, for, food, food of any kind, kindred by bloodfrom his clan,מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתּ֖וֹ (mim·miš·paḥ·tōw)Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 4940: A family, circle of relatives, a class, a species, sort, a tribe, peoplemay redeem him.יִגְאָלֶ֑נּוּ (yiḡ·’ā·len·nū)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine singularStrong's 1350: To redeem, act as kinsmanOr ifאֽוֹ־ (’ōw-)ConjunctionStrong's 176: Desire, ifhe prospers,הִשִּׂ֥יגָה (hiś·śî·ḡāh)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 5381: To reach, overtakehe may redeem himself.וְנִגְאָֽל׃ (wə·niḡ·’āl)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1350: To redeem, act as kinsmanJump to PreviousAble Attained Belonging Blood Clan Close Cousin Either Family Father's Flesh Gets Grown Grows Hand Kin Kinsman Means Money Nigh Prospers Redeem Relation Relations Relative Relatives Rich Sufficient Uncle Uncle's Waxed Waxen
