And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his children with him,…. His sons and daughters, and his wife also, who is included in himself: if a man had a wife and children when he sold himself, or married afterwards, with his master’s consent, he was obliged to maintain them t; though they were not sold to him, nor properly his servants, and so had a right to go out with him:
and shall return unto his own family; his father’s family, and that of his near relations, having been out of it during his time of servitude, and which the year of jubilee restored him to, Le 25:10;
and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return; the estate his father left him by inheritance, and which he was obliged to sell in the time of his poverty, or which fell to him since by the death of his father; to this also he was restored in the year of jubilee, as is expressed in the text referred to.

(41) And then shall he depart from thee.At the same time that he regains his liberty, and takes with him his family, the patrimony which he sold also reverts to him.

41. Unto the possession of his fathers These words afford a key to the difficulty which we have just discussed. The release here spoken of is that which restores the servant to his landed inheritance. This in no way is in conflict with the release of servants occurring every seventh year after their respective terms of six years, a release unattended by the restoration of their ancestral lands.

Lev 25:41-43. Then shall he depart Thou shalt not suffer him or his to abide longer in thy service, as thou mightest do in the year of release, Exo 21:2; Exo 21:6. They are my servants They, no less than you, are members of my church and people; such as I have chosen out of all the world to serve me here, and to enjoy me hereafter, and therefore are not to be oppressed, neither are you absolute lords over them to deal with them as you please. Fear thy God Though thou dost not fear them who are in thy power, and unable to right themselves, yet fear that God who hath commanded thee to use them kindly, and who can and will avenge their cause, if thou oppress them.
