ד"א וכי ימוך אחיך ומכר מאחוזתו ובא גואלו הקרוב וגו', מי הוא גואלו, אני הוא, שנאמר כה אמר ה' עשוקים וגו' גואלם חזק ה' וגו' (ירמיה נ לג לד).

**Midrash Tanhuma, S. Buber Recension; trans. by John T. Townsend, 1989.:**
(Lev. 25:25:) WHEN YOUR RELATIVE BECOMES POOR AND SELLS SOME OF HIS PROPERTY, THEN HIS REDEEMER SHALL COME, THE ONE MOST CLOSELY RELATED TO HIM, AND REDEEM …. Who is his redeemer?¹⁸., Lev. 9:3. I am he, as stated (in Jer. 50:33–34): THUS SAYS THE LORD: THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ARE OPPRESSED…. THEIR REDEEMER IS MIGHTY, HIS NAME IS THE LORD OF HOSTS .

[ד"א כי ימוך אחיך[, שבעה שמות נקראו לעני, אלו הן דך עני מך רש תכך מסכן אביון.

**Midrash Tanhuma, S. Buber Recension; trans. by John T. Townsend, 1989.:**
[Another interpretation (of Lev. 25:25:) WHEN YOUR RELATIVE BECOMES POOR.] Seven names are given to the poor.¹⁹ They are the following: crushed (*dakh*), poor ('*ani*), lowly (*makh*), dispossessed (rash), oppressed (*TKK*),²⁰ 34; and the parallel in *Tanh*., Lev. 9:3, both of which read *tekhakhim;* cf. also Lev. R. 34:6, followed by *Yalqut Shim‘oni*, Lev. 665, which reads *dal* (“impoverished”) here. wretched (*misken*), and pauper (*evyon*).
