# until the year of Jubilee

An Israelite could be a slave only until the year of Jubilee. These instructions are for when an Israelite wanted to buy back his freedom before the year of Jubilee.

# the year of Jubilee

"the year of restoration" or "the year to return land and to free slaves"

# The price of his redemption must be figured

The verb "figured" can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "They must figure the price of his redemption" or "They must figure how much to pay for the foreigner to set the Israelite free" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# in keeping with the rate paid to a hired servant

If the Israelite bought back his freedom, the foreigner would have to hire a servant to do the work that the Israelite would have done but will not. The verbs "paid" and "hired" can be expressed in active form. Alternate translation: "according to the rate a person would pay to hire a servant" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# for the number of years he might continue to work

"for the number of years until the jubilee that the Israelite would have continued to work but will not"
