Leviticus25:47

47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock , of the strangers family:

Heb. root, i. e. one of the root or stock. So the word ro[illegible: 1+ letters]t is elsewhere used for the branch or progeny growing from it, as Numb. 13. 28. 2 Chron. 22. 10. He seems to note one of a forreign race and countrey transplanted into the land of Israel, and there having taken root amongst the people of God, yet even such an one though he hath some priviledge by it, yet he shall not have power to keep an Hebrew servant from the benefit of Redemption.
