レビ記 25:22 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:22

“And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.” Thus in the seventh and the eighth years they would eat ‘the old store’, that which had been laid up in the sixth year. Others see ‘the seventh year’ in Leviticus 25:20 as referring to the forty ninth year. But it should be noted that the ‘fiftieth year’, the year of Yubile, does not begin at the beginning of the year, the first day of the first... 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

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

DISCOURSE: 142THE SABBATICAL YEARLeviticus 25:20-22. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: Then will I command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.MANY of the commands of God to his people of old appear to be mere arbitrary impositions,... 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
