13 »En el año de jubileo cada uno volverá a su heredad familiar.

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).

Levítico 25:13 In-Context

11 El año cincuenta será para ustedes un jubileo: ese año no sembrarán ni cosecharán lo que haya brotado por sí mismo, ni tampoco vendimiarán las viñas no cultivadas.
12 Ese año es jubileo y será santo para ustedes. Comerán solamente lo que los campos produzcan por sí mismos.
13 »En el año de jubileo cada uno volverá a su heredad familiar.
14 »Si entre ustedes se realizan transacciones de compraventa, no se exploten los unos a los otros.
15 Tú comprarás de tu prójimo a un precio proporcional al número de años que falten para el próximo jubileo, y él te venderá a un precio proporcional al número de años que queden por cosechar.
