SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:47
Y si el peregrino o extranjero que está contigo, adquiriese medios, y tu hermano que está con él empobreciere, y se vendiere al peregrino o extranjero que está contigo, o a la raza del linaje del extranjero;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 47. And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee , etc.] An uncircumcised one, as the Targums, a proselyte of the gate, who by living among and trading with the Israelites, might grow rich and wealthy in money, at least so as to be able to purchase an Hebrew servant, though not his lands, which he might not buy: and thy brother [that dwelleth] by him wax poor ; comes into low circumstances, and is reduced to great poverty, even extreme poverty; for only in such a case might he sell himself to an Israelite, and much less to a stranger, if this was not the case. Jarchi suggests, as in the phrase, “by thee”, points at the cause or occasion of the sojourner or stranger becoming rich, his nearness unto, or cleaving to all Israelite; and so here the phrase, “by him”, directs to the cause or occasion of the Israelite’s becoming poor, his being near and cleaving to the sojourner or stranger: but they seem rather to be used, to show the reason of the poor Israelite falling into the hands of a rich sojourner; they being near neighbours to one another, and having a familiarity, the following bargain is struck between them: and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner thee ; the uncircumcised sojourner, as the Targum of Jonathan: or to the stock of a stranger’s family ; or “root” f895 , one that sprung from a family, originally proselytes; which some understand of one, who though he be descended from such a family, was now rooted among the people of God, and incorporated into the commonwealth of Israel; and yet such an one could not detain an Hebrew servant longer than the year of jubilee: but the Jewish writers generally interpret it of an idolater f896 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39-55 - A native Israelite, if sold for debt, or for a crime, was to serve but six years, and to go out the seventh. If he sold himself, throug poverty, both his work and his usage must be such as were fitting for son of Abraham. Masters are required to give to their servants tha which is just and equal, Col 4:1. At the year of jubilee the servan should go out free, he and his children, and should return to his ow family. This typified redemption from the service of sin and Satan, by the grace of God in Christ, whose truth makes us free, Joh 8:32. We cannot ransom our fellow-sinners, but we may point out Christ to them while by his grace our lives may adorn his gospel, express our love show our gratitude, and glorify his holy name __________________________________________________________________
