Commentary for Kiddushin 30:6
מאי טעמא דרבי יוסי הגלילי אמר קרא אם לא יגאל באלה אלא באחר ויצא בשנת היובל ור"ע אומר אם לא יגאל אלא באלה ויצא בשנת היובל ור' יוסי הגלילי מידי אלא באלה כתיב
For it was taught: 'And if he be not redeemed by these' - R'Jose the Galilean said: If 'by these', it is for freedom, if by strangers,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'the rest of people.'');"><sup>8</sup></span> it is fo servitude.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If a relation redeems him, he goes free; if a stranger, he becomes his slave.');"><sup>9</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud shows how each of these two rabbis reads the verse. R. Yose inserts the difference between a relative and a stranger straight into the verse.
R. Akiva reads the verse slightly differently. If he is not redeemed by any but these, then he goes free. But if he is redeemed by these, i.e. the relatives, he does not go free until the Jubilee year.
R. Yose counters that R. Akiva’s reading is not actually written in the verse and requires the insertion of several words.
