Contextual Overview

⁸ "‘You must count off seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, and the days of the seven weeks of years will amount to forty-nine years. ⁹ You must sound loud horn blasts—in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, on the Day of Atonement—you must sound the horn in your entire land. ¹⁰ So you must consecrate the fiftieth year, and you must proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. That year will be your jubilee; each one of you must return to his property and each one of you must return to his clan. ¹¹ That fiftieth year will be your jubilee; you must not sow the land, harvest its aftergrowth, or pick the grapes of its unpruned vines. ¹² Because that year is a jubilee, it will be holy to you—you may eat its produce from the field. ¹³ "‘In this year of jubilee you must each return to your property. ¹⁴ If you make a sale to your fellow citizen or buy from your fellow citizen, no one is to wrong his brother. ¹⁵ You may buy it from your fellow citizen according to the number of years since the last jubilee; he may sell it to you according to the years of produce that are left. ¹⁶ The more years there are, the more you may make its purchase price, and the fewer years there are, the less you must make its purchase price, because he is only selling to you a number of years of produce. ¹⁷ No one is to oppress his fellow citizen, but you must fear your God, because I am the Lord your God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another,.... By over or underrating estates:

but thou shalt fear thy God; and the fear of God being before their eyes, and on their hearts, would preserve both buyer and seller from doing an ill thing, when it was in the power of either, through the necessity of the one, or the ignorance of the other, see Nehemiah 5:15:

for I [am] the Lord your God; omniscient, and knows all that is done in the most private and artful manner; and omnipotent and able to punish both, which of them either should oppress or defraud, see 1 Thessalonians 4:6.
