“Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.”
They are to determine the value for the years since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property. The pricing principle for self-redemption: pay for the remaining years of use that the buyer purchased minus the years already enjoyed. The Jubilee-adjusted pricing applies to self-redemption as well as to the original sale. The transparent covenant economics of the Jubilee system protect both the seller who redeems and the buyer who sells back.
