Musar zu Wajikra 25:49
אוֹ־דֹד֞וֹ א֤וֹ בֶן־דֹּדוֹ֙ יִגְאָלֶ֔נּוּ אֽוֹ־מִשְּׁאֵ֧ר בְּשָׂר֛וֹ מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתּ֖וֹ יִגְאָלֶ֑נּוּ אֽוֹ־הִשִּׂ֥יגָה יָד֖וֹ וְנִגְאָֽל׃
Entweder sein Oheim oder sein Vetter oder einer aus seiner nächsten Blutsfreundschaft seines Geschlechts kann ihn freilösen, oder er selbst kommt zu Vermögen und kauft sich frei.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
The overriding rule to be learned from all this is that man must strive to cleave to his Maker not only with his spiritual faculties but also with his physical attributes. This is the meaning of the promise: "you will dwell securely on the land." Once we have achieved such a level of closeness to G–d, the Torah then proceeds to speak about spiritual rewards in פרשת בחוקותי by promising to transform the rain into something which we will be able to perceive as a spiritual dimension of G–d's largess, as we have already pointed out.
