The Mosaic Law provided specific guidelines on how land transactions, especially those involving debt, were to be handled, ensuring that the land remained within the family and tribal inheritance.<br><br><b>Levitical Law and Jubilee</b><br><br>The primary biblical reference concerning the sale of land for debt is found in <a href="/bsb/leviticus/25.htm">Leviticus 25</a>. The chapter outlines the Year of Jubilee, a time every fifty years when all land sold due to debt was to be returned to the original family owners. This law was designed to prevent the permanent loss of family inheritance and to maintain the socio-economic balance among the tribes of Israel. <a href="/leviticus/25-23.htm">Leviticus 25:23-24</a> states, "The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and sojourners with Me. Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land."<br><br><b>Redemption of Land</b><br><br>The concept of redemption is central to the biblical approach to land sold for debt. If a person became impoverished and sold some of their property, a close relative, known as a kinsman-redeemer, had the right and responsibility to redeem the land. <a href="/leviticus/25-25.htm">Leviticus 25:25</a> instructs, "If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest kinsman is to come and redeem what his brother has sold."<br><br><b>Temporary Sale and Servitude</b><br><br>In cases where the land could not be redeemed by a relative, the individual who sold the land could redeem it themselves if their financial situation improved. If neither option was possible, the land would remain with the buyer until the Year of Jubilee, at which point it would revert to the original owner. This system ensured that the land could not be permanently alienated from the family line.<br><br>Additionally, if a person sold themselves into servitude to pay off debt, they were to be treated as hired workers rather than slaves and were to be released in the Year of Jubilee. <a href="/leviticus/25-39.htm">Leviticus 25:39-41</a> states, "If your brother among you becomes impoverished and sells himself to you, you must not force him into slave labor. Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee."<br><br><b>Prophetic and Historical Context</b><br><br>The prophets often addressed issues of land and debt, condemning the exploitation and unjust practices that led to the loss of land and freedom. For instance, Isaiah and Micah spoke against those who accumulated land at the expense of others, violating the spirit of the Jubilee laws (<a href="/isaiah/5-8.htm">Isaiah 5:8</a>, <a href="/micah/2-2.htm">Micah 2:2</a>).<br><br>In historical narratives, the account of Naboth's vineyard (1 Kings 21) illustrates the abuse of power in land transactions. King Ahab's desire to acquire Naboth's vineyard, and the subsequent unjust actions taken to obtain it, highlight the importance of adhering to God's laws regarding land and inheritance.<br><br><b>New Testament Perspective</b><br><br>While the New Testament does not directly address the sale of land for debt, the principles of justice, mercy, and care for the poor are emphasized throughout Jesus' teachings and the epistles. The early Christian community practiced a form of communal living where resources were shared, reflecting the spirit of the Jubilee in caring for one another's needs (<a href="/acts/4-32.htm">Acts 4:32-35</a>).<br><br>In summary, the biblical approach to land sold for debt underscores the importance of family inheritance, social justice, and the provision for redemption, reflecting God's concern for the equitable distribution of resources and the protection of the vulnerable in society.<a name="nav" id="nav"></a><div class="vheading2">Nave's Topical Index</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/nehemiah/5-3.htm">Nehemiah 5:3-5</a></span><br>Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.<br><span class="source">Nave's Topical Index</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/chrysostom/homilies_on_acts_and_romans/homily_xi_acts_iv_23.htm"><span class="l">Acts iv. 23</span></a> <br><b>...</b> resurrection."
