The Jubilee's exceptions

The unredeemed field does not return to the clan at the Jubilee; it becomes the priest's permanent holding (Lev 27:20-21). Thirty-four verses after 'proclaim deror,' Lev 25:44-46 sites a commanded, inheritable, permanent hold of foreign persons, with no failure clause attached.

In plain words

The same laws carry their exceptions: an unredeemed field passes to the priests for good, and Leviticus 25 commands that foreign slaves be held permanently and handed down. The text releases Israelites and keeps foreigners in one breath, and both findings stand.

The mechanism

RESTORATION, WITH A LEAK — the reset contains a re-concentration event inside itself, and the release is bounded to Israelites by the same chapter that proclaims it. The true statement, at full strength: Torah legislates periodic release over Israelites and permanent property in foreigners, in one breath, and both findings stand.
