Exegesis

The phrase ad shnat ha-yovel {עַד שְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל | ʿad šə-nat ha-yō-ḇel} ‘until the year of the jubilee’ sets the release boundary, followed by the vav-consecutive sequence ve-yatsa ba-yovel ve-shav {וְיָצָא בַּיּוֹבֵל וְשָׁב | wə-yā-ṣāʾ ba-yō-ḇel wə-šāḇ} ‘and he will go out in the jubilee and will return’, culminating in la-akhuzato {לַאֲחֻזָּתוֹ | la-ʾa-ḥu-zat-ô} ‘to his possession’. The use of construct chains and vav-consecutives structures the legal sequence and emphasizes the covenantal restoration.
