F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 25:35-55

Freedom in the Year of Jubilee Leviticus 25:35-55 If a man, through misfortune, were forced to sell himself into serfdom to meet his debts, he could not be legally retained after the trumpet had sounded; but was free to return to his home and family. His rich neighbor, during the time of his distress, was not to exact usury on any loan that he might make, but must give him food, lodging, and help, without charge. The poor man was to be treated not as a slave, but as a hired servant and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 25:1-55

The last section of the Book of Leviticus is occupied with setting forth laws concerning the outward signs in the land of the proof of possession, together with certain promises and warnings, all ending with instructions concerning making and observing vows. The signs affecting the land were, first, the Sabbath of the land and, second, redemption in the year of jubilee. These signs served to keep before the people the fact that God is the original Owner and Possessor of the land and that no... read more

What The People of Israel’s Attitude Must Be Towards Their Brothers (Leviticus 25:35-43 ). “Brothers” here means fellow-Israelites who got into financial difficulties, who were to be treated with especial loving concern. They Must Assist The Recovery Of Their Brother Who Falls On Hard Times Without Seeking To Gain From Him (Leviticus 25:35-38 ). Leviticus 25:35 “And if your brother has grown poor, and his hand fail with you, then you shall uphold him. As a stranger and a sojourner shall he... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:8-38

Leviticus 25:8-Zechariah : . The Year of Jubile.— This law contains two large provisions, the return of estates to their original owners, and the liberation of Hebrew slaves, both in the fiftieth year. It also contains a section which refers to the sabbatical year ( Leviticus 25:17-Jeremiah :) and a law against the exploitation of poor Israelites ( Leviticus 25:35-Zechariah :). Of these the second at least (as perhaps the first) belongs to H. With the law of Jubile the case is different (see... read more

i.e. Of thy brother, whether he be Israelite or proselyte. Increase: this some conceive relates to the fruits of the earth, food, &c., as usury doth to money. But here may rather seem’ to be two words expressing the same thing, (1.) To meet with the subtle evasions of crafty and covetous men, who made gain of their poor brethren (for of such only he speaks here, as is evident from Leviticus 25:35) by the lending of money or other things; and that they may quiet their consciences, and... read more

The Fear of JubileeSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 25:1-7.—Then shall the land keep a Sabbath unto the Lord. For a whole year the land ceased to be the property of the owner; he might not till the soil, neither gather its spontaneous produce; God asserted His ownership by this enactment, and manifested His providential sufficiency for His people by the guarantee of plenty in the harvest preceding. The fallow land acquired new productive powers by this year of rest, as man and beast gather fresh... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:1-55

Now as we get into chapter twenty-five, they were to give the land a Sabbath day's rest or Sabbath year. They were to plant the land for six years, the seventh year they were to let the land rest. Really, I like these laws of God. Man, you've got a lot of seven-day holidays spread through the year. Then every seventh year, you just kick back and take the year off. You don't even plant anything in that year; you just let grow up whatever grows up and you eat that. But God said, "If you will do... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 25:1-55

Leviticus 25:4. The seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest. While the Hebrews continued faithful under the Theocracy of heaven, they were the happiest people in the world. A sabbatical year was a year of small labour only, that they might cultivate their minds instead of their lands. Leviticus 25:10. Ye shall hallow the fiftieth year. The jubilee was certainly one of the happiest institutions ever imposed on civil society. The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fulness. No man has a... read more

Leviticus 25:2-55A Sabbath of rest unto the land.The sabbatic year and jubilee1. I do not suppose that these sabbatic regulations referred severally to separate and distinct things. The seventh day, the seventh month, the seventh year, and the year of jubilee, as I take them, all express the same great thought, and are related to each other in signification as the different sections of a telescope. They fold into each other. The one is only a repetition of the other on a larger scale. And they... read more
