Leviticus 25:7

7 iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur praebebunt cibum

Leviticus 25:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:7

And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that [are] in thy land,
&c.] The former signifies tame cattle, such as were kept at home, or in fields, or were used in service, and the latter the wild beasts of the field:

shall all the increase thereof be meat;
for the one, and for the other; Jarchi remarks, that all the time a wild beast eats of the increase of the field, the cattle may be fed at home; but when it ceaseth to the wild beast of the field, then it ceaseth to the cattle at home; nay, the Jews are so strict in this matter, that they say that when there is no food for the beasts in the field, men are obliged to bring out what they have in their houses ^F18, see ( Isaiah 11:6 Isaiah 11:7 ) .

Leviticus 25:7 In-Context

5 quae sponte gignit humus non metes et uvas primitiarum tuarum non colliges quasi vindemiam annus enim requietionis terrae est

6 sed erunt vobis in cibum tibi et servo tuo ancillae et mercennario tuo et advenae qui peregrinantur apud te

7 iumentis tuis et pecoribus omnia quae nascuntur praebebunt cibum

8 numerabis quoque tibi septem ebdomades annorum id est septem septies quae simul faciunt annos quadraginta novem

9 et clanges bucina mense septimo decima die mensis propitiationis tempore in universa terra vestra
