L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:1-55

THE SEVENTH YEAR SABBATH (vv. 1-7) Here was a wonderful provision for Israel every seven years. When they came into their land, they were to plant their land for six years and reap its fruits. But the seventh year they were to do no planting, nor any pruning of their vineyards, but to allow the land to rest for the whole year (vv. 1-4). Though doing no work on the land, they could still expect fruit or grain to grow voluntarily. If so, they were not to reap this, that is, to store it or sell... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:1-55

THE SABBATIC AND JUBILEE YEARS Considering the limited scope of this work, we pass over chapter 24 to give more attention to the subject of the present chapter which is closely connected with that of the feasts, or appointed seasons. THE SABBATIC YEAR It deals first with the Sabbatic year (Leviticus 25:1-7 ). From what were the Israelites prohibited in the seventh year (Leviticus 25:4 )? How much further did the prohibition extend (Leviticus 25:5 )? But while there should be no sowing,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 25:18-22

Reader, do not overlook in these verses how gracious the LORD is. Rather than GOD'S people shall be losers by their dependence upon him, he will even work a miracle to supply them; for causing the sixth year to be doubly and trebly prolific, this was little less than a standing miracle. See that sweet promise. Psalms 132:15 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:8-22

8-22 The word "jubilee" signifies a peculiarly animated sound of the silver trumpets. This sound was to be made on the evening of the great day of atonement; for the proclamation of gospel liberty and salvation results from the sacrifice of the Redeemer. It was provided that the lands should not be sold away from their families. They could only be disposed of, as it were, by leases till the year of jubilee, and then returned to the owner or his heir. This tended to preserve their tribes and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 25:18-34

Consideration for the Poor Leviticus 25:18-34 It was good for the land to lie fallow for one year in seven; and it was a wise provision that it should not be sold in perpetuity. This enactment prevented the stamping out of the small land owners, and the accumulation of the land in the hands of a few wealthy families. Though a man might be compelled by stress of circumstances to sell his little farm to a wealthy creditor, when the fiftieth year came around it returned to his possession and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

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
