- Leviticus 25:47-55

The unit's controlling claim is: A poor Israelite under a resident outsider may be redeemed by kin or self according to years until Jubilee, must be treated as a yearly worker, and goes free because Israelites are the LORD's servants from Egypt.

The verse requires a larger repayment when many years remain. Follow Leviticus 25:47-55 before drawing an enduring truth, since the surrounding case determines what this detail does and does not establish.
