Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

And in all the land of your possession,.... Which they should possess in the land of Canaan, whatever part of it any of them should enjoy: ye shall grant a redemption for the land; that is, whenever any estate in it was sold through necessity, the buyer was obliged to grant a liberty to the seller to redeem it, when it was in his power to do it, or any or his relations, especially after two years; so Jarchi observes, he that sells his possession may redeem it after two years, either he himself or he that is near akin to him, nor can the buyer hinder it; See Gill on Lev 25:15.
