Exegesis
The repeated perfect veshevtem {וְשַׁבְתְּם | və-šav-tem} “and you shall return,” coupled with the singular ish {אִישׁ | ʾîš}, emphasizes individual restoration to achuzato {אֲחֻזָּת֔וֹ | ă-ḥū-zā-ṯô} “his property” and mishpachto {מִשְׁפַּחְתּ֖וֹ | miš-paḥ-tô} “his family.” English restructuring aligns Hebrew emphasis for clarity while preserving legal and rhetorical structure.
In context — Leviticus 25:10
And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants; it shall be a Jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his property and to his family.
