### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and 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.

### examples

- then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession. (Torah LEV.25.27, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/O/overplus/#x1)
