Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 25:54
And if he be not redeemed in these [years], then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, [both] he, and his children with him.
And if he be not redeemed in these [years],…. The Targum of Jonathan supplies the text as we do, in any of the years from the time of his sale to the year of jubilee; and so Aben Ezra interprets it, in the years that remain to the jubilee; but he observes there are others that say, by the means of those above mentioned, that is, by his nearest of kin, or by himself; for the word “years” is not in the text, which may be supplied, either with “years” or “relations”; and so the Vulgate Latin, Septuagint, and Oriental versions read, “by these” means, things or persons:
then he shall go out on the year of jubilee: out of the house and service of him that bought him, he shall go out free and freely, without paying anything for his freedom, having served his full time unto which he was bought:
[both] he and his children with him; and his wife too, if he had any, who, was comprehended in himself, and whom, both wife and children, his master was obliged to maintain during his servitude.

(54) If he be not redeemed in these years.Better, If he be not redeemed by these, that is, by the relations or the means indicated in Lev. 25:48-49, he is to go out free in the year of jubile. (See Lev. 25:41.) The heathen is to submit to the laws of jubile as much as the Hebrew.

54. And his children No child in the land of Judea, whether Hebrew or heathen, was born to involuntary servitude because the father, or mother, or both, were servants; but every child of the house was born a member of the family, dependent on the master (not owner) for education and subsistence.
