Leviticus 25:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:12

For it is the jubilee, it shall be holy
Men being restored to their liberty, possessions, and families, it must be matter of joy to them, and therefore this year was to be separated from all others, and devoted to the ends and uses before mentioned; and men were to live upon the spontaneous productions of the earth, without any tillage of land, or cultivation of vines ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field;
they were not to reap corn, and gather grapes and olives, and bring them into their barns and storehouses, as in other years; but were to go out every day into their fields, and gather for present use, and all were common to all sorts of men, and to cattle, as in the sabbatical year; (See Gill on Leviticus 25:7).
