What happensPermalink
Laws about the sabbath year (every seven years) and the Jubilee (every 50 years). Restrictions on the permanent sale of land. Requirements for kindness to the poor.
Why it mattersPermalink
The land belongs to God, not man; therefore, it cannot be permanently sold. The people also belong to God, so they must be set free during the Jubilee as well.
Key versePermalink
“The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.”
