利未记 25:20-22 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 25:8-22

Here is, I. The general institution of the jubilee, Lev. 25:8-22 1. When it was to be observed: after seven sabbaths of years (Lev. 25:8), whether the forty-ninth or fiftieth is a great question among learned men: that it should be the seventh sabbatical year, that is, the forty-ninth (which by a very common form of speech is called the fiftieth), seems to me most probable, and is, I think, made pretty clear and the objections removed by that learned chronologer Calvisius; but this is not a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:20

And ye shall say, what shall ye eat the seventh year ?.... Such as are of little faith, disbelieve the promise, and distrust the providence of God, and take thought for tomorrow, and indulge an anxiety of mind how they shall be provided with food in the sabbatical year ordered to be observed, in which there were to be no tillage of land, nor pruning of trees: behold, we shall not sow ; that being forbidden: nor gather in our increase ; neither the barley, nor the wheat, nor the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:21

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year ,.... Upon their fields, vineyards, and oliveyards, and make them exceeding fruitful, more than in other years; all fruitfulness at any time depends upon the blessing of God, and follows upon it, but is more visible and observable when there is an exceeding great plenty: and it shall bring forth fruit for three years ; and thus God blessed the sixth year with such a plentiful increase as was sufficient for time to come, until a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:22

And ye shall sow the eighth year ,.... Sow the land in the eighth year, and likewise dress their vines, olives, &c.; and eat yet of the old fruit ; even in the eighth year, of the old fruit of the sixth year, as the Targum of Jonathan adds: until the ninth year ; that is, as Jarchi explains it, until the feast of tabernacles of the ninth, which was the time that the increase of the eighth came into the house; for all summer it was in the field, and in Tisri or September was the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:20

What shall we eat the seventh year? - A very natural question, which could only be laid at rest by the sovereign promise in the next verse: I will Command my Blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for Three Years. See on Leviticus 25:2 ; (note). read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:20

Verse 20 20.And if ye shall say. Men will never be obedient to God’s precepts, unless their distrust of Him is corrected, and will be always ingenious in laying hold of pretexts for disobedience. The difficulty, however, in this matter was a specious excuse for the Jews; for famine might have destroyed them in these two years, since in the seventh year they neither sowed nor reaped; and for reaping they were obliged to wait till the end of the eighth year. Now, whence were they to get seed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 25:1-22

The sabbatic year. At the close of the original week the sabbath of the seventh day was given; that of the seventh year, on the entrance of the Hebrews into Canaan. The former was a memorial of creation; the latter, of redemption. These are intimately related. There are correspondences between the old creation and the new—the material and the spiritual. The grand effect of redemption will be the constitution of a new creation, in which the mundane system will participate. I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 25:1-55

The sabbatical year was instituted not for any supposed physical benefit accruing from it to the land, but, first, as serving for a link between the sabbath and the jubilee by means of the sacred number seven—the sabbatical year being the seventh year, and the jubilee being the year following the seven-times-seventh year; and secondly, and chiefly, as enforcing the lesson of the weekly sabbath in a manner that could not be overlooked, and symbolically, teaching the universal application of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 25:8-34

The jubilee, being a year of deliverance and joy, came to be a type of the Messianic dispensation, and of the final deliverance and state of happiness which is still to come. "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord" ( Isaiah 61:1 , Isaiah... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 25:8-34

The year of jubilee. Accumulation of sabbaths and sabbatical years; climax of rest. Proclaimed on Day of Atonement. Outcome of the original covenant. Specially soul-stirring and delightful, "waked up the nation from the very center of its moral being." "All estates and conditions of the people were permitted to feel the hallowed and refreshing influence of this most noble institution. The exile returned; the captive was emancipated; the debtor set flee; each family opened its bosom to... read more
