Leviticus 25:10
“You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family.”
The book of Leviticus contains laws and instructions given by God to the ancient Israelites, largely through Moses, after their exodus from Egypt. This chapter details regulations for the Sabbatical Year (every seventh year) and the Year of Jubilee (every fiftieth year), which were designed to promote economic and social equity within the community.
