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.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

I will: As it is here graciously promised, that the sixth year was to bring forth fruits for three years, not merely for two, it is evident that both the sabbatical year and the year of jubilee were distinctly provided for. They were not to sow from the sixth to the eighth year, omitting two seed times; nor reap from the sixth to the ninth, omitting two harvests. No legislator, unless conscious of being divinely commissioned, would have committed himself by enacting such a law as this; nor would any people have submitted to receive it, except in consequence of the fullest conviction that a divine authority had dictated it. It therefore stands as a proof that Moses acted by the express direction of the Almighty, and that the people were fully persuaded of the reality of his divine mission by the miracles he wrought. Genesis 26:12, Genesis 41:47, Exodus 16:29, Deuteronomy 28:3, Deuteronomy 28:8, Psalms 133:3, Proverbs 10:22, 2 Corinthians 9:10

three years: Leviticus 25:4, Leviticus 25:8-11

Reciprocal: Exodus 16:5 - prepare Leviticus 26:4 - the land 2 Chronicles 31:10 - the Lord Psalms 42:8 - command Matthew 6:33 - and all Luke 13:7 - three Hebrews 6:7 - receiveth

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,.... Upon their fields, vineyards, and oliveyards, and make them exceeding fruitful, more than in other years; all fruitfulness at any time depends upon the blessing of God, and follows upon it, but is more visible and observable when there is an exceeding great plenty:

and it shall bring forth fruit for three years; and thus God blessed the sixth year with such a plentiful increase as was sufficient for time to come, until a new crop was gathered in; as he had blessed the sixth day with a double portion of manna, for the supply of the seventh.
