Commentary for Kiddushin 30:4
אמר רב נחמן בר יצחק לעולם יליף שכיר שכיר ושאני הכא דאמר קרא (ויקרא כה, מח) יגאלנו לזה ולא לאחר
Now, should you think that he [Rabbi] accepts the deduction from 'sakir', used twice, why does he Say, 'if he who cannot be redeemed by these': let us deduce [similarity of law from] the repetition of sakir?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. p. 60, n. 6.');"><sup>5</sup></span> - Said R'Nahman B'Isaac: After all, he does accept the deduction of 'sakir', 'sakir'; yet here it is different, because Scripture saith, [one of his brethren] shall redeem him.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. 48.');"><sup>6</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
As occurred earlier, the Talmud rejects the notion that Rabbi does not learn from the repetition of the word “sakhir.” In general he does, but in this case he does not because he reads the verse as specifically limiting the one able to be redeemed by relatives to the Hebrew sold to a Gentile. Thus according to Rabbi we could say that the laws of Exodus apply to the slave described in Leviticus. But we could also distinguish between a slave sold to a Gentile and one sold to a Jew.
