Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb יִגָּאֵ֖ל, he will be redeemed, governs the sentence, with two clauses following it: one detailing the conditions of redemption and the other stating the outcome of liberation. The structure emphasizes the conditional nature of redemption and the assured outcome of freedom.
The Hebrew word order places the conditions first, which highlights the importance of the specified ways of redemption before introducing the liberation that follows.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree closely in their wording, with a notable difference in the Samaritan Pentateuch, which uses יובל (ram) instead of הַיֹּבֵ֔ל. This reflects a variation in terminology but does not alter the overall meaning of the verse.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.

יוֹבֵל (yowbel) refers to a ram or ram's horn, often associated with the sound of a trumpet. It signifies both the instrument itself and the festival it heralds, particularly the jubilee year, which is marked by the blowing of horns. The word is derived from a root meaning continuous sound.
