' By Clara B. Lawrence Sunday School } Lesson Mrs. Lawrence Subject: God Proclaims Year of Jubilee October 24.1982 Lesson Scripture Sabbath Year Unto The Lord Lev. 25:1,2 + Year of Jubilee Sweet Land of Liberty Lev. 25:8-12; 23-24 ' Let My People Go Lev. 25:39-43 Background Scripture...Lev. 25:1-55 Lesson Background The ideas in Leviticus 25 were intended to keep the economy healthy and the people concerned for one another. Leviticus is the third book of Moses. It takes its name from the priestly tribe of Levi, to whom God committed the ceremonial part of Israel’s worship. The book touches on many areas of public and private life; from diet to de filment; sexual and social relationships, to Sabbaths and Jubilee. God’s purpose is to preserve the spiritual, moral and physical well-being of His : covenant people, Israel, as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. Three months ; - after they were rescued from Egyptian bondage, they were led by Moses to Mount Sinai. It was here that the law of Jubilee £ was given them by God (Exodus 19:1). \ Lesson Explained From the Jewish aspect “The Year of “■ Jubilee” was a safeguard to prevent the Israelites from permanently enslaving themselves, and from changing God’s plan ^ for allotting the land. The establishment of these regulations was God’s way of insisting that “The earth’s the Lords, and the fullness thereof,” (Psalms 24:1). Verses 1-2 refer to the Sabbath Year of rest, to be observed every seventh year; not the Sabbath day of rest. These verses are God’s own words, uttered while they were encamped at Mount Sinai. The phrase, keep a “Sabbath unto the Lord” means that the Hebrews were to let their land rest every seventh year. It was to lie uncultivated, and there would be no sowing nor reaping, (vss. 1-2). Verses 4-7, not printed, tell us that wild animals would be allowed to eat the produce. Then came another command for social and economic adjustment: the years were to be numbered and kept every seven years. Then after a period of seven Sabbath years, there was to be a celebration of the Year of Jubilee. This fiftieth year cele bration would begin with the sounding of the trumpet throughout the land, (vss. 8-9). After the Israelites had taken possession of ‘ the land of Canaan, and cultivated it for 49 years, they would begin the observance of the Year of Jubilee. People who had been forced to sell their property, would have it restored to them at a fair price. Jubilee was a “Holy” year, a time when hungry people ^ could pluck food growing anywhere in Palestine, (vss. 10-12). Slaves were to be returned to their family or releatives. Verses 23-24 announce a law concerning the land: the Israelites were reminded that - they were only tenants on the land and God was the landlord. They were stran gers and sojourners” and were to grant a redemption for the land. Read Lev. 25:25-34 about specific regulations concerning the redemption of land and property. Beginning with verse 36 of this chapter, there is an exhortation to suDDort those who were impoverished. Their personal freedom was also to be preserved. The discussion is continued in verses 39-43 where there is a law concerning servants’ work, their re lease and a law about the fear of the Lord. Instruction regarding treatment of those persons who have become slaves of another because of poverty. They were to be treated as a hired servant and not as a bondservant. And they were to serve only until the Year of Jubilee. Verse 43 serves as a reminder to the Israelites that they themselves were ruled over with rigor. We can say here, that every regulation instituted for this special year was designed to demonstrate God’s owner Closing Summary Israel’s Sabbath year and Jubilee ob servance were included in the Levitical calendar to give the people and their property a rest. Symbolically, these pre cepts ullustrated what Christ will later bring to people; freedom, rest, reunion, renewal and joy. Many of the regulations were for a particular people at a specific time in their history. Some writers have said they are not meant to be applied in full detail, to our day. But as Christians, we can use these divine principles in fulfilling our role as good stewards of all God give us. 'rm <mmwn£'wm You’ll Find The Best Local .
