“And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.”
Even if someone is not redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee. The Jubilee as the ultimate guarantee for the personal redemption, just as it is the ultimate guarantee for the land redemption: if no kinsman-redeemer acts and no self-redemption occurs, the Jubilee releases the Israelite and their children. The covenant community member cannot be held permanently by any master, foreign or native, beyond the Jubilee year.
