Having laid down in the preceding verse the principles of equitable dealings both for the purchaser and vendor, the Lawgiver, in his anxiety lest the distressed seller should be taken advantage of, reverts again to the purchaser, who is enjoined strictly to regulate the purchase price in proportion to the number of years the lease of the field has still to run. For according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell.--Better, for a number of crops he selleth, that is, the vendor does not sell the land but a certain number of harvests till the next jubile. 25:8-22 The word jubilee signifies a peculiarly animated sound of the silver trumpets. This sound was to be made on the evening of the great day of atonement; for the proclamation of gospel liberty and salvation results from the sacrifice of the Redeemer. It was provided that the lands should not be sold away from their families. They could only be disposed of, as it were, by leases till the year of jubilee, and then returned to the owner or his heir. This tended to preserve their tribes and families distinct, till the coming of the Messiah. The liberty every man was born to, if sold or forfeited, should return at the year of jubilee. This was typical of redemption by Christ from the slavery of sin and Satan, and of being brought again to the liberty of the children of God. All bargains ought to be made by this rule, Ye shall not oppress one another, not take advantage of one another's ignorance or necessity, but thou shalt fear thy God. The fear of God reigning in the heart, would restrain from doing wrong to our neighbour in word or deed. Assurance was given that they should be great gainers, by observing these years of rest. If we are careful to do our duty, we may trust God with our comfort. This was a miracle for an encouragement to all neither sowed or reaped. This was a miracle for an encouragement to all God's people, in all ages, to trust him in the way of duty. There is nothing lost by faith and self-denial in obedience. Some asked, What shall we eat the seventh year? Thus many Christians anticipate evils, questioning what they shall do, and fearing to proceed in the way of duty. But we have no right to anticipate evils, so as to distress ourselves about them. To carnal minds we may appear to act absurdly, but the path of duty is ever the path of safety.Jump to Previous Crops Decrease Diminish Extent Few Fruits Great Greater Increase Increased Increases Length Multiply Multitude Price Produce Proportion Really Sell Selling Small ThereofJump to Next Crops Decrease Diminish Extent Few Fruits Great Greater Increase Increased Increases Length Multiply Multitude Price Produce Proportion Really Sell Selling Small ThereofLinks Leviticus 25:16 NIVLeviticus 25:16 NLT Leviticus 25:16 ESV Leviticus 25:16 NASB Leviticus 25:16 KJV Leviticus 25:16 Bible Apps Leviticus 25:16 Biblia Paralela Leviticus 25:16 Chinese Bible Leviticus 25:16 French Bible Leviticus 25:16 German Bible Alphabetical: a and are because crops decrease diminish extent few fewness for he In increase is it its many number of price proportion really selling shall the to what When years you OT Law: Leviticus 25:16 According to the length of the years (Le Lv Lev.)
