26 But[a] if[b] a man does not have[c] a redeemer, then[d] he prospers[e] and he finds enough for his redemption, 27 then[f] he shall calculate the years of its selling, and he shall refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his property. 28 But[g] if his hand does not find enough to refund to him, then[h] what he has sold[i] shall be in the buyer’s hand until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall go out of the buyer’s hand[j] in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his property.
