Leviticus 25:21 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:21

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,
&c.] 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.

Leviticus 25:21 In-Context

19 The land will give its fruit so that you can eat your fill and live securely on it.

20 Suppose you ask, "What will we eat in the seventh year if we don't plant or gather our crops then?"

21 I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year so that it will make enough produce for three years.

22 You can plant again in the eighth year and eat food from the previous year's produce until the ninth year. Until its produce comes, you will eat the food from the previous year.

23 The land must not be permanently sold because the land is mine. You are just immigrants and foreign guests of mine.
