redeem it: The law required a close relative, known as the family redeemer, to buy land when a landowner needed to sell it (see Leviticus 25:23–34). This practice kept land within the family. The redeemer acted as a caretaker for the land until the struggling landowner could recover financially and buy it back.
I will redeem it: The relative saw a great opportunity—there was no male heir and no sign there would be one. He could add the land to his own estate while fulfilling his family duty.
