Levítico 25:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:13

In the year of this jubilee
In the beginning of it, as Aben Ezra, though not on the first day of Tisri, but the tenth day, the day of atonement, when the trumpet was blown: ye shall return every man unto his possession;
which is repeated from ( Leviticus 25:10 ) ; the reason of which, the Jews say, is to include gifts, and which, according to them, are like sales, and returned in the year of "jubilee"; that is, if a man gave his estate in possession to another, he returned to it, in the year of jubilee, equally as if he had sold it; and therefore they observe the same phrase is twice used by Moses, to include gifts F25: but perhaps the truer reason is, because this was a special business done at this time, and of great importance; the word "return" being so often used, may serve to confirm the sense of the word "jubilee", given previously, (See Gill on Leviticus 25:9).

Levítico 25:13 In-Context

11 El año de los cincuenta años os será jubileo: no sembraréis, ni segaréis lo que naciere de suyo en la tierra, ni vendimiaréis sus viñedos:
12 Porque es jubileo: santo será á vosotros; el producto de la tierra comeréis.
13 En este año de jubileo volveréis cada uno á su posesión.
14 Y cuando vendiereis algo á vuestro prójimo, ó comprareis de mano de vuestro prójimo, no engañe ninguno a su hermano:
15 Conforme al número de los años después del jubileo comprarás de tu prójimo; conforme al número de los años de los frutos te venderá él á ti.
