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 And the land shall yield her increase, and ye shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.

20 And if ye should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?

21 Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.

22 And ye shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, ye shall eat old fruits of the old.

23 And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.
