The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 25:25-55

Consideration for the Poor and for Slaves. v. 25. If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, land or houses in the country, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, the man upon whom this duty devolved, v. 48, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold, buy it hack for the former owner. v. 26. And if the man, the original owner, have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it, if he finds himself in a position that he can buy back the land... read more

FOURTH SECTIONOf the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years“The keeping holy of the hallowed territory, the holy land, by the Sabbatical year; of the consecrated inheritance by the Jubilee Year, and thus also of those who had become impoverished, the Israelites who had fallen into servitude; the keeping holy of the outward appearance of the holy land (streets and ways); of the public Sabbath feast and of the Sanctuary of the religion of the land.

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 25:23-28

The Land Belongs To Yahweh And Cannot Be Passed On Permanently. It Can Either Be Redeemed Early Or Will Be Passed Back At The Year of Yubile (Leviticus 25:23-28 ). Leviticus 25:23 “And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me. The principle is now made clear. The reason that all this was to happen was because the land was Yahweh’s. From this point of view they lived in it, not as owners, but as though they were resident... 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

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
