Leviticus 25 · Grade 4

The Land Is Mine

Name Date

Read and Think

Leviticus 25 gives two special times. Every seventh year was a Sabbath year, when the land rested. The people had to trust God, who promised a large harvest in the sixth year to carry them through.

Every fiftieth year was the Year of Jubilee. The trumpet sounded on the Day of Atonement, and liberty was proclaimed throughout the land. Land that had been sold went back to the original family. Poor Israelites who had sold themselves into service went free with their children.

God explained, The land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me. Israel did not own the land forever; they were God's guests. So they must help a poor brother, lend without interest, and not rule over him harshly. In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus read from Isaiah about the year of the Lord's favor and said it was fulfilled in Him.
