Leviticus 25:14

Context

Leviticus 25:42

Context
25:42 Since they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt, they must not be sold in a slave sale. 5 

1 tn Heb “sell a sale.”

2 tn Or “to one of your countrymen” (NIV); NASB “to your friend.”

3 tn The Hebrew infinitive absolute קָנֹה (qanoh, “buying”) substitutes for the finite verb here in sequence with the previous finite verb “sell” at the beginning of the verse (see GKC 345 §113.z).

4 tn Heb “do not oppress a man his brother.” Here “brother” does not refer only to a sibling, but to a fellow Israelite.

5 tn Or perhaps reflexive Niphal rather than passive, “they shall not sell themselves [as in] a slave sale.”
