Exegesis
The second mirrors this with me‘ot hashanim {מְעֹ֣ט הַשָּׁנִ֔ים | mə-‘ō-ṯ ha-šānîm} ‘scarcity of years’, the verb tam‘it {תַּמְעִ֖יט | ta-ma-‘îṯ} ‘you shall diminish’, and the same object.
In context — Leviticus 25:16
In accordance with the abundance of years, you shall increase his purchase , and in accordance with the scarcity of years, you shall diminish his purchase, for it is the number of harvests that he is selling to you.
