Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 25:41/אבן עזרא על ויקרא כ״ה:מ״א
אהוא ובניו עמו. זה שהעתיקו חכמים ועבדו לעולם:
1HE AND HIS CHILDREN WITH HIM. The transmitters of tradition based themselves on this verse when they explained the meaning of and he shall serve him for ever (Ex. 21:6).155 means until the Jubilee year. See I.E. on Ex. 21:6 (Vol. 2, p. 458): “And he shall serve him for ever means, and he will serve him until the year of Jubilee, for there is no season of Israel that is longer than it.”
