Commentary for Kiddushin 30:5

ומאן תנא דפליג עליה דרבי ר' יוסי הגלילי ור"ע דתניא (ויקרא כה, נד) לא יגאל באלה ר' יוסי הגלילי אומר באלה לשחרור בשאר כל אדם לשעבוד ר"ע אומר באלה לשעבוד בשאר כל אדם לשחרור

[implying] him, but not another.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. a slave sold to a Jew.');"><sup>7</sup></span> And what Tanna disagrees with Rabbi? - R'Jose the Galilean and R'Akiba.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

Rabbi reads the words “by these” as teaching that a slave purchased by a Gentile does not go free after six years. In contrast, two other tannaim read the phrase as teaching something different. R. Yose the Galilean reads them as teaching that if a relative redeems the slave, he goes free. But if he is redeemed by a non-relative, then he becomes a slave to that redeemer. R. Akiva reads this opposite—if he is redeemed by the relative, then he remains a slave. If by any other man, then he goes free.
