THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai: "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, When you enter the land which I am going to give you, the land will observe a Sabbath to God . Sow your fields, prune your vineyards, and take in your harvests for six years. But the seventh year the land will take a Sabbath of complete and total rest, a Sabbath to God ; you will not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Don't reap what grows of itself; don't harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land gets a year of complete and total rest. But you can eat from what the land volunteers during the Sabbath year—you and your men and women servants, your hired hands, and the foreigners who live in the country, and, of course, also your livestock and the wild animals in the land can eat from it. Whatever the land volunteers of itself can be eaten.

Contextual Overview

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, ² Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. ³ Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof; ⁴ but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. ⁵ That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. ⁶ And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger that sojourn with thee; ⁷ and for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses in Mount Sinai,.... Not when Moses was with the Lord on that mount forty days, but after he came down from thence, even after the tabernacle was set up, while the children of Israel where encamped about that mountain, and before they took their journey from thence; for they continued some time in the wilderness of Sinai, and here it was the Lord spoke to Moses; for the words may be rendered "by" or "near Mount Sinai" g; and so Josephus h says, the following laws were delivered to Moses, when Israel was encamped under Mount Sinai:

saying; as follows.

g בהר "apud seu juxta montem", Piscator; so Ainsworth, Patrick, &c. h Antiqu. l. 3. c. 12. sect. 3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sabbatical year and the year of Jubilee belong to that great sabbatical system which runs through the religious observances of the Law, but rest upon moral rather than upon formally religious ground. It is not, therefore, without reason that they are here set apart from the set times which fell strictly within the sphere of religious observances.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXV

The law concerning the Sabbatical or seventh year repeated,

1-7.

The law relative to the jubilee, or fiftieth year, and the

hallowing of the fiftieth, 8-12.

In the year of jubilee every one to return unto his

possessions, 13.

None to oppress another in buying and selling, 14.

Purchases to be rated from jubilee to jubilee, according to the

number of years unexpired, 15-17.

Promises to obedience, 18,19.

Promises relative to the Sabbatical year, 20-22.

No inheritance must be finally alienated, 23, 24.

No advantage to be taken of a man's poverty in buying his land,

25-28.

Ordinances relative to the selling of a house in a walled city,

29, 30;

in a village, 31.

Houses of the Levites may be redeemed at any time, 32, 33.

The fields of the Levites in the suburbs must not be sold, 34.

No usury to be taken from a poor brother, 35-38.

If an Israelite be sold to an Israelite, he must not be obliged

to serve as a slave, 39,

but be as a hired servant or as a sojourner, till the year of

jubilee, 40,

when he and his family shall have liberty to depart, 41;

because God claims all Israelites as his servants, having

redeemed them from bondage in Egypt, 42, 43.

The Israelites are permitted to have bond-men and bond-women of

the heathens, who, being bought with their money, shall be

considered as their property, 44-46.

If an Israelite, grown poor, be sold to a sojourner who has

waxed rich, he may be redeemed by one of his relatives, an

uncle or uncle's son, 47-49.

In the interim between the jubilees, he may be redeemed; but if

not redeemed, he shall go free in the jubilee, 50-54.

Obedience enforced by God's right over them as his servants,

55.
