BeHar Hebrew Parsha – 4th Aliyah

BeHar (בְּהַר)

Leviticus 25:1 – 26:2

Fourth Aliyah



25:25
If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his hereditary land, a close relative can come and redeem what his kinsman has sold.
Ki-yamuch achicha umachar me’achuzato uva go’alo hakarov elav vega’al et mimkar achiv.
כִּי-יָמוּךְ אָחִיךָ, וּמָכַר מֵאֲחֻזָּתוֹ–וּבָא גֹאֲלוֹ, הַקָּרֹב אֵלָיו, וְגָאַל, אֵת מִמְכַּר אָחִיו.

25:26
[The same is true] if a man does not have anyone to redeem it, but gains enough wealth to be able to redeem it himself.
Ve’ish ki lo yihyeh-lo go’el vehisigah yado umatsa kedey ge’ulato.
וְאִישׁ, כִּי לֹא יִהְיֶה-לּוֹ גֹּאֵל, וְהִשִּׂיגָה יָדוֹ, וּמָצָא כְּדֵי גְאֻלָּתוֹ.

25:27
He shall then calculate the number of years for which [the land] has been sold, and return the balance to the buyer. He can then return to his hereditary land.
Vechishav et-shney mimkaro veheshiv et-ha’odef la’ish asher machar-lo veshav la’achuzato.
וְחִשַּׁב, אֶת-שְׁנֵי מִמְכָּרוֹ, וְהֵשִׁיב אֶת-הָעֹדֵף, לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר מָכַר-לוֹ; וְשָׁב, לַאֲחֻזָּתוֹ.

25:28
If he does not have the means to retrieve [the land], then that which he has sold shall remain with the buyer until the jubilee year. It is then released by the jubilee, so that [the original owner] can return to his hereditary land.
Ve’im lo-mats’ah yado dey hashiv lo vehayah mimkaro beyad hakoneh oto ad shnat hayovel veyatsa bayovel veshav la’achuzato.
וְאִם לֹא-מָצְאָה יָדוֹ, דֵּי הָשִׁיב לוֹ–וְהָיָה מִמְכָּרוֹ בְּיַד הַקֹּנֶה אֹתוֹ, עַד שְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל; וְיָצָא, בַּיֹּבֵל, וְשָׁב, לַאֲחֻזָּתוֹ.
