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'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

The Problem Of Having A Seventh Year Without Sowing and Planting (Leviticus 25:20-21 ). Leviticus 25:20-21 “And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase, then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.” The first question we must raise here is as to the reference of ‘the seventh year’. Does it signify each sabbatical year after the six years of activity, ‘the seventh... 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

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

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
