“If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.”
If many years remain, they must pay for their redemption a larger share of the price paid for them. The more years remaining until the Jubilee, the higher the redemption price — consistent with the land pricing principle. The Jubilee-adjusted personal redemption pricing prevents the exploitation of the desperate: the redemption cost is determined by the objective years remaining, not by the master's leverage over a desperate buyer.
