How is it possible for a Yisrael to have no relatives?
Rashi and Targum Yonasan: The Pasuk is referring to relatives who do not have the means to redeem the field.
Moshav Zekenim: It means that his relatives do not want to redeem the field. 1
Refer to 25:25:4:1*. Moshav Zekenim: Why is this different than "Ein la'Ish Go'el" (Naso Bamidbar, 5:8 ), which the Gemara in Bava Kama 109a explains to mean a Ger who has no relatives? (Perhaps this opinion holds that it is unreasonable to obligate relatives to redeem. The Pasuk there, on the other hand, is discussing returning theft to a relative if the Nigzal died, and it is illogical to say that none of the deceased relatives relative wants to take the money - PF). See also Oznayim la'Torah, who explains that the current Parshah of Sadeh Achuzah cannot be referring to Geirim, since Geirim did not receive a portion in Eretz Yisrael.
