## In Jewish tradition

In the law of the Jubilee, a man who sold his land and later has the money to redeem it pays back only for the years remaining, and gets back the surplus.

**Interpretation.** The law is read as protecting a family's ancestral land, since land is never sold forever and returns at the Jubilee.
