New International Version
49 An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them. Or if they prosper,(A) they may redeem themselves. 50 They and their buyer are to count the time from the year they sold themselves up to the Year of Jubilee.(B) The price for their release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired worker(C) for that number of years. 51 If many years remain, they must pay for their redemption a larger share of the price paid for them.
