Bible Question: When did the year of jubile start. |
Bible Answer: Jubilee (blowing the trumpet) - the 50th year after seven cycles of seven years, when specific instructions about property and slavery took effect. The word jubilee comes from the Hebrew yobel, which means to be "jubilant" and to "exult." The word is related to the Hebrew word for ram's horn or trumpet. The Jubilee year was launched with a blast from a ram's horn on the Day of Atonement, signifying a call to joy, liberation, and the beginning of a year for "doing justice" and "loving mercy." The 50th year was a special year in which to "proclaim liberty throughout all the land" (Leviticus 25:10). Specifically, individuals who had incurred debts and had sold themselves as slaves or servants to others were released from their debts and were set at liberty. Since all land belonged to God,land could not be sold; but land could be lost to another for reasons of debt. In the Year of Jubilee such land was returned to the families to whom it was originally given. |
