The Jubilee year, occurring every fiftieth year, is a time of liberation and restoration, reflecting God's desire for justice, mercy, and social equality among His people. Biblical Foundation The primary biblical reference for the Jubilee is found in <a href="/leviticus/25-8.htm">Leviticus 25:8-55</a>. The Lord commands the Israelites through Moses to count off seven sabbatical years, totaling forty-nine years. The fiftieth year is then proclaimed as a Jubilee year: "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan" (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>). Key Features of the Jubilee 1. Restoration of Property: During the Jubilee, any land that had been sold was to be returned to its original family owners. This ensured that the land, which was considered a divine inheritance, remained within the family lineage. "In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property" (<a href="/leviticus/25-13.htm">Leviticus 25:13</a>). 2. Freedom for Slaves: Hebrew slaves were to be set free during the Jubilee. This act of liberation underscored the principle that the Israelites were servants of God alone and not to be permanently enslaved by one another. "If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, you must not force him into slave labor" (<a href="/leviticus/25-39.htm">Leviticus 25:39</a>). 3. Rest for the Land: The Jubilee year also served as a sabbatical for the land, during which it was to lie fallow. This practice not only allowed the land to rejuvenate but also demonstrated trust in God's provision. "You are not to sow or reap what grows by itself or harvest the untended vines" (<a href="/leviticus/25-11.htm">Leviticus 25:11</a>). Theological Significance The Jubilee year is a profound expression of God's justice and mercy. It serves as a reminder that all creation belongs to God and that humans are stewards of His resources. The Jubilee reflects God's concern for the poor and marginalized, ensuring that economic disparities do not become permanent. Symbolism and Fulfillment The Jubilee has been seen as a foreshadowing of the ultimate liberation brought by Jesus Christ. In <a href="/luke/4-18.htm">Luke 4:18-19</a>, Jesus reads from the scroll of Isaiah, proclaiming the "year of the Lord's favor," which many scholars interpret as an allusion to the Jubilee. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ fulfills the Jubilee's promise of spiritual freedom and restoration. Historical Observance While the Jubilee was a divine commandment, historical records suggest that its full observance was challenging for the Israelites. The socio-economic implications of returning land and freeing slaves may have contributed to its sporadic implementation. Nonetheless, the principles of the Jubilee have continued to inspire movements for social justice and economic reform throughout history. Contemporary Relevance The Jubilee's themes of debt forgiveness, land restoration, and liberation continue to resonate in modern discussions about economic justice and social equity. The biblical principles underlying the Jubilee challenge believers to consider how they can embody God's justice and mercy in their own lives and communities.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/context/leviticus/25-1.htm">Leviticus 25:1-55</a> And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying, Topicalbible.org<a href="/context/leviticus/27-17.htm">Leviticus 27:17-24</a> If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand.

Topicalbible.org<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>JubileeA Hebrew festival, celebrated in every fiftieth year, which of course occurred after seven weeks of years, or seven times seven years, Le 25:10. Its name Jubilee, sounding or flowing, was significant of the joyful trumpet-peals that announced its arrival. During this year no one sowed or reaped; but all were satisfied with what the earth and the trees produced spontaneously. Each resumed possession of his inheritance, whether it were sold, mortgaged, or otherwise alienated; and Hebrew servants of every description were set free, with their wives an children, Le 25:1-55. The first nine days were spent in festivities, during which no one worked, and every one wore a crown on his head. On the tenth day, which was the day of solemn expiation, the Sanhedrin ordered the trumpets to sound, and instantly the slaves were declared free, and the lands returned to their hereditary owners. This law was mercifully designed to prevent the rich from oppressing the poor, and getting possession of all the lands by purchase, mortgage, or usurpation; to cause that debts should not be multiplied too much, and that slaves should not continue, with their wives and children, in perpetual bondage. It served to maintain a degree of equality among the Hebrew families; to perpetuate the division of lands and households according to the original tribes, and secure a careful registry of the genealogy of every family. They were also thus reminded that Jehovah was the great Proprietor and Disposer of all things, and they but his tenants. "The land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me," Le 25:23. And this memento met them constantly and pointedly; for every transfer of land was valuable in proportion to the number of years remaining before the jubilee. Isaiah clearly refers to this peculiar and important festival, as foreshadowing the glorious dispensation of gospel grace, <a href="/context/isaiah/61-1.htm">Isaiah 61:1</a>,2 <a href="/context/luke/4-17.htm">Luke 4:17-21</a>. See also the notice of a similar institution under <a href="../s/sabbatical.htm">SABBATICAL YEAR</a>. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A joyful shout or clangour of trumpets, the name of the great semi-centennial festival of the Hebrews. It lasted for a year. During this year the land was to be fallow, and the Israelites were only permitted to gather the spontaneous produce of the fields (<a href="/leviticus/25-11.htm">Leviticus 25:11</a>, 12). All landed property during that year reverted to its original owner (13-34; <a href="/leviticus/27-16.htm">27:16</a>-24), and all who were slaves were set free (<a href="/leviticus/25-39.htm">25:39</a>-54), and all debts were remitted.The return of the jubilee year was proclaimed by a blast of trumpets which sounded throughout the land. There is no record in Scripture of the actual observance of this festival, but there are numerous allusions (<a href="/isaiah/5-7.htm">Isaiah 5:7</a>, 8, 9, 10; <a href="/isaiah/61-1.htm">61:1</a>, 2; <a href="/ezekiel/7-12.htm">Ezek. 7:12</a>, 13; <a href="/nehemiah/5-1.htm">Nehemiah 5:1</a>-19; <a href="/2_chronicles/36-21.htm">2 Chronicles 36:21</a>) which place it beyond a doubt that it was observed.The advantages of this institution were manifold. "1. It would prevent the accumulation of land on the part of a few to the detriment of the community at large. 2. It would render it impossible for any one to be born to absolute poverty, since every one had his hereditary land. 3. It would preclude those inequalities which are produced by extremes of riches and poverty, and which make one man domineer over another. 4. It would utterly do away with slavery. 5. It would afford a fresh opportunity to those who were reduced by adverse circumstances to begin again their career of industry in the patrimony which they had temporarily forfeited. 6. It would periodically rectify the disorders which crept into the state in the course of time, preclude the division of the people into nobles and plebeians, and preserve the theocracy inviolate." <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Now, such a horn can be made into a trumpet, and thus the word yobhel came to be used as a synonym of trumpet. According to <a href="/leviticus/25-9.htm">Leviticus 25:9</a> a loud trumpet should proclaim liberty throughout the country on the 10th day of the 7th month (the Day of Atonement), after the lapse of 7 sabbaths of years = 49 years. In this manner, every 50th year was to be announced as a jubilee year. All real property should automatically revert to its original owner (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>; compare 25:13), and those who, compelled by poverty, had sold themselves as slaves to their brothers, should regain their liberty (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>; compare 25:39). In addition to this, the Jubilee Year was to be observed after the manner of the sabbatic year, i.e. there should be neither sowing nor reaping nor pruning of vines, and everybody was expected to live on what the fields and the vineyards produced "of themselves," and no attempt should be made at storing up the products of the land (<a href="/leviticus/25-11.htm">Leviticus 25:11 f</a>). Thus there are three distinct factors constituting the essential features of the Jubilee Year: personal liberty, restitution of property, and what we might call the simple life. 1. Personal Liberty: The 50th year was to be a time in which liberty should be proclaimed to all the inhabitants of the country. We should, indeed, diminish the import of this institution if we should apply it only to those who were to be freed from the bonds of physical servitude. Undoubtedly, they must have been the foremost in realizing its beneficial effects. But the law was intended to benefit all, the masters as well as the servants. They should never lose sight of their being brothers and citizens of theocratic kingdom. They owed their life to God and were subject to His sovereign will. Only through loyalty to Him were they free and could ever hope to be free and independent of all other masters. 2. Restitution of Property: The institution of the Jubilee Year should become the means of fixing the price of real property (<a href="/leviticus/25-15.htm">Leviticus 25:15</a>; compare 25:25-28); moreover, it should exclude the possibility of selling any piece of land permanently (<a href="/leviticus/25-23.htm">Leviticus 25:23</a>), the next verse furnishing the motive: "The land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me." The same rule was to be applied to dwelling-houses outside of the walled cities (<a href="/leviticus/25-31.htm">Leviticus 25:31</a>), and also to the houses owned by Levites, although they were built within walled cities (<a href="/leviticus/25-32.htm">Leviticus 25:32</a>). In the same manner the price of Hebrew slaves was to vary according to the proximity of the Jubilee Year (<a href="/leviticus/25-47.htm">Leviticus 25:47-54</a>). This passage deals with the enslaving of a Hebrew by a foreigner living among the Jews; it goes without saying that the same rule would hold good in the case of a Hebrew selling himself to one of his own people. In <a href="/leviticus/27-17.htm">Leviticus 27:17-25</a> we find a similar arrangement respecting such lands that were "sanctified unto Yahweh." In all these cases the original owner was at liberty to redeem his property at any time, or have it redeemed by some of his nearest relatives (25:25-27, 29, 48;; 27:19). The crowning feature, though, was the full restitution of all real property in the Jubilee Year. The primary object of this regulation was, of course, the reversion of all hereditary property to the family which originally possessed it, and the reestablishment of the original arrangement regarding the division of the land. But that was not all; for this legal disposition and regulation of external matters was closely connected with the high calling of the Jewish people. It was a part of the Divine plan looking forward to the salvation of mankind. "The deepest meaning of it (the Jubilee Year) is to be found in the apokatastasis tes basileias tou theou, i.e. in the restoring of all that which in the course of time was perverted by man's sin, in the removing of all slavery of sin, in the establishing of the true liberty of the children of God, and in the delivering of the creation from the bondage of corruption to which it was subjected on account of man's depravity" (<a href="/romans/8-19.htm">Romans 8:19</a>) (compare Keil, Manual of Biblical Archaeology). In the Year of Jubilee a great future era of Yahweh's favor is foreshadowed, that period which, according to <a href="/isaiah/61-1.htm">Isaiah 61:1-3</a>, shall be ushered in to all those that labor and are heavy laden, by Him who was anointed by the spirit of the Lord Yahweh. 3. The Simple Life: The Jubilee Year, being the crowning point of all sabbatical institutions, gave the finishing touch as it were to the whole cycle of sabbatic days, months and years. It is, therefore, quite appropriate that it should be a year of rest for the land like the preceding sabbatic year (<a href="/leviticus/25-11.htm">Leviticus 25:11 f</a>). It follows, of course, that in this instance there were two years, one after the other, in which there should be no sowing or systematic ingathering. This seems to be clear from <a href="/leviticus/25-18.htm">Leviticus 25:18-22</a>: "And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store." Thus in the 7th and 8th years the people were to live on what the fields had produced in the 6th year and whatever grew spontaneously. This shows the reason why we may say that one of the factors constituting the Jubilee Year was the "simple life." They could not help but live simply for two consecutive years. Nobody can deny that this afforded ample opportunity to develop the habit of living within very limited means. And again we see that this external part of the matter did not fully come up to the intention of the Lawgiver. It was not the simple life as such that He had in view, but rather the laying down of its moral and religious foundations. In this connection we must again refer to <a href="/leviticus/25-18.htm">Leviticus 25:18-22</a>, "What shall we eat the seventh year?" The answer is very simple and yet of surpassing grandeur: "Then I will command my blessing upon you," etc. Nothing was expected of the people but faith in Yahweh and confidence in His power, which was not to be shaken by any doubtful reflection. And right here we have found the root of the simple life: no life without the true God, and no simplicity of life without true faith in Him. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (<a href="/matthew/4-4.htm">Matthew 4:4</a>; compare <a href="/deuteronomy/8-3.htm">Deuteronomy 8:3</a>). We may well ask: Did the Jewish people ever observe the Jubilee Year? There is no reason why they should not have observed it in pre-exilic times (compare Lotz in The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, X, under the word "Sabbatical Year" and "Year of Jubilee"). Perhaps they signally failed in it, and if so, we should not be surprised at all. Not that the institution in itself was cumbered with any obstacles that could not have been overcome; but what is more common than unbelief and unwillingness to trust absolutely in Yahweh? Or, was it observed in post-exilic times? Here, too, we are in the dark. There is, indeed, a tradition according to which the Jubilee Year has never been observed-neither in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah nor at any later period. The truth of this seems to be corroborated by the silence of Josephus, who, while referring quite frequently to the sabbatic year, never once mentions the Year of Jubilee.
