READING LIST FOR LAW AND HISTORY

Today's Reading: Leviticus 25

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Leviticus 25

Leviticus 25 speaks of the Sabbath Year (Lev 25.1-7),
the Year of the Jubilee (Lev 25.8-38; Deu 15.1-11)
Free Servants and Cancelling Debt (Lev 25.39.55-55; Exo 21.2-11; Deu 15.12-19)
The Israelites could farm and maintain their vineyards for six years but the seventh year, The Sabbath Year, the land is to have a sabbath of rest. If the land produces food on its own without the labor of vineyards, the Israelites could consume it. The purpose of this was rest for the land. That's a concept I have never thought of with all this high-tech fertilzers and pesticides, who knows what God has in mind.

The Year of the Jubilee occurs every fify years (7X7+1 seven Sabbath Year) The purpose of this was help the poor and make soceity more stable. This was done by liberating slaves and indentured servants and return land to the original owners and cancel debts. Could you imagine this happeniing in our soceity which is so materialistic. This would be unheard of today!
