Day 115 – Redeemed Leviticus 25:1 JEHOVAH spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land will keep a sabbath to JEHOVAH. 3 Six years you will sow your field, and six years you will prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; 4 but in the seventh year there will be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to JEHOVAH. You will neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 5 What grows of its own accord of your harvest you will not reap, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. 6 The sabbath produce of the land will be food for you: for you, your male and female servants, your hired man, and the stranger who dwells with you, 7 for your livestock and the beasts that are in your land—all its produce will be for food. 8 ‘You will count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years will be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you will cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement, you will make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 You will consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It will be a Jubilee for you; and each of you will return to his possession, and each of you will return to his family. 11 That fiftieth year will be a Jubilee to you; in it you will neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. 12 For it is the Jubilee; it will be holy to you; you will eat its produce from the field. 13 In this Year of Jubilee, each of you will return to his possession. 14 ‘If you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you will not oppress one another. 15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you will buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he will sell to you. 16 According to the multitude of years you will increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you will diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops. 17 Therefore, you will not oppress one another, but you will fear your Elohiym; for I am JEHOVAH your Elohiym. 18 ‘You will observe My statutes and keep My judgments and perform them; and you will dwell in the land in safety. 19 Then the land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill, and dwell there in safety. 20 If you say, “What will we eat in the seventh year, since we will not sow nor gather in our produce?” 21 Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years. 22 You will sow in the eighth year and eat old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you will eat of the old harvest. 23 ‘The land will not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me. 24 In all the land of your possession you will grant redemption of the land. 25 If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold. 26 Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it, 27 then let him count the years since its sale and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession. 28 If he is unable to have it restored to himself, then what was sold will remain in the hands of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; and in the Jubilee it will be released, and he will return to his possession. 29 ‘If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year he may redeem it. 30 If it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house in the walled city will belong permanently to the person who bought it, throughout his generations. It will not be released in the Jubilee. 31 However, the houses of villages which have no wall around them will be counted as the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they will be released in the Jubilee. 32 ‘Nevertheless, the cities of the Levites, and the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time. 33 If a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession will be released in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But the field of the common-land of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession. 35 ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you will help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 36 Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your Elohiym, that your brother may live with you. 37 You will not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit. 38 I am JEHOVAH your Elohiym, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God. 39 ‘If one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you will not compel him to serve as a slave. 40 As a hired servant and a sojourner he will be with you and will serve you until the Year of Jubilee. 41 Then he will depart from you—he and his children with him—and will return to his own family. He will return to the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they will not be sold as slaves. 43 You will not rule over him with rigor, but you will fear your Elohiym. 44 ‘As for your male and female slaves whom you may have—from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. 45 Moreover, you may buy the children of the strangers who dwell among you, and their families who are with you, which they beget in your land; and they will become your property. 46 You may take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; they will be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you will not rule over one another with rigor. 47 ‘Now if a sojourner or stranger close to you becomes rich, and one of your brethren who dwells by him becomes poor and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner close to you, or to a member of the stranger’s family, 48 after he is sold, he may be redeemed again. One of his brothers may redeem him; 49 or his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him; or anyone who is near of kin to him in his family may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself. 50 Thus he will reckon with him who bought him: The price of his release will be according to the number of years; from the year he was sold to him until the Year of Jubilee; it will be according to the time of a hired servant for him. 51 If there are still many years remaining, according to them he will repay the price of his redemption from the money with which he was bought. 52 If there remain but a few years until the Year of Jubilee, then he will reckon with him, and according to his years he will repay him the price of his redemption. 53 He will be with him as a yearly hired servant, and he will not rule with rigor over him in your sight. 54 If he is not redeemed in these years, then he will be released in the Year of Jubilee—he and his children with him. 55 For the children of Israel are servants to Me; they are My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am JEHOVAH your Elohiym. Names of God: JEHOVAH – Self-existent, Eternal Elohiym – Mighty God Yeshuwa – Jesus God’s Character: Redeemer Mashiyach - Messiah Have you ever sold something you owned to a pawn shop, hoping to redeem it when you could afford it? Pawn shops are full of unredeemed items the owner of the pawn shop sells when the time of redemption ends. JEHOVAH gave the children of Israel fifty years to redeem the land and themselves if they sold their land or themselves so they could live in the land. In the year of Jubilee, the year of redemption, if they had not redeemed the land or themselves, they were set free to return to their land and the land returned to their possession. Israel no longer has the Year of Jubilee because not all the tribes of Israel live in their land. Only when they return to their land and live in their allotted possessions will they once again celebrate the Year of Jubilee. For those who accepted Yeshuwa as Mashiyach and Lord, your Year of Jubilee occurred when Yeshuwa died on the cross and rose from the dead for your salvation. He redeemed you with His blood and you are forever free. Yeshuwa’s blood redeemed you from Satan’s hold on you. You are now free to live in Him and with Him in heaven. Every day should be a day of jubilation as you celebrate Yeshuwa’s redeeming power in your life. Are you free? Did you accept Yeshuwa’s redemption on Calvary for your sin? If so, then celebrate your freedom. It’s your day and Year of Jubilee. If not, you can claim your day of Jubilee today by accepting the finished work of the cross and claim your redemption through Yeshuwa’s blood, the price of your redemption. Let’s pray: Father, thank you for redeeming me through the precious blood of Your Son. Let me rejoice every day in my salvation and treat every day as the day of Jubilee. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. Copyright © 12 May 2024 by Valerie Routhieaux The image belongs to me.
