Levítico 25:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:13

In the year of this jubilee
In the beginning of it, as Aben Ezra, though not on the first day of Tisri, but the tenth day, the day of atonement, when the trumpet was blown: ye shall return every man unto his possession;
which is repeated from ( Leviticus 25:10 ) ; the reason of which, the Jews say, is to include gifts, and which, according to them, are like sales, and returned in the year of "jubilee"; that is, if a man gave his estate in possession to another, he returned to it, in the year of jubilee, equally as if he had sold it; and therefore they observe the same phrase is twice used by Moses, to include gifts ^F25: but perhaps the truer reason is, because this was a special business done at this time, and of great importance; the word "return" being so often used, may serve to confirm the sense of the word "jubilee", given previously, (See Gill on Leviticus 25:9).

11 "Tendréis el quincuagésimo año como año de jubileo: no sembraréis, ni segaréis lo que nazca espontáneamente, ni vendimiaréis sus viñas sin podar.

12 "Porque es jubileo, os será santo. De lo que produzca el campo, comeréis.

13 "En este año de jubileo cada uno de vosotros volverá a su propia posesión.

14 "Asimismo, si vendéis algo a vuestro prójimo, o compráis algo de la mano de vuestro prójimo, no os hagáis mal uno a otro.

15 "Conforme al número de años después del jubileo, comprarás de tu prójimo, y él te venderá conforme al número de años de cosecha.
