Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:1-55

THE SABBATIC YEAR AND THE JUBILEELeviticus 25:1-55THE system of annually recurring sabbatic times, as given in chapter 23, culminated in the sabbatic seventh month. But this remarkable system of sabbatisms extended still further, and besides the sacred seventh day, the seventh week, and seventh month, included also a sabbatic seventh year; and beyond that, as the, ultimate expression of the sabbatic idea, following the seventh seven of years, came the hallowed fiftieth year, known as the... read more

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

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:7

Cattle. This last term in Hebrew, Septuagint, &c., means "wild beasts," which must also live. At this period of the seventh year debts were to be remitted, the law read, &c. (Exodus xxi. 2; Deuteronomy xv. 2, and xxxi. 10.) But in the jubilee year, even those Hebrew slaves whose ears had been pierced, and those who had sold their land, regained their liberty and possessions. (Calmet) --- Their children and wives, according to Josephus, went out with them, ver. 41. Houses and suburbs for... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:1-7

1-7 All labour was to cease in the seventh year, as much as daily labour on the seventh day. These statues tell us to beware of covetousness, for a man's life consists not in the abundance of his possessions. We are to exercise willing dependence on God's providence for our support; to consider ourselves the Lord's tenants or stewards, and to use our possessions accordingly. This year of rest typified the spiritual rest which all believers enter into through Christ. Through Him we are eased of... read more

The Seventh Year v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses in Mount Sinai, while the children of Israel were still encamped in its vicinity, saying, v. 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come in to the land which I give you, the certainty of this event being set forth time and again, then shall the land keep a Sabbath unto the Lord, the soil should be given periods of rest, in which the land should lie fallow. v. 3. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years... read more
