Leviticus 25-26

The Israelites were farmers - they lived off the land.  It was nearly a daily dependence.  Taking one day of the week off (Sabbath) was a bit scary for them.  So it must have been shocking to them when God told them to celebrate a Jubilee every 50th year during which (for a whole year) they would simply "eat what grows by itself."  No sowing and no tending the vines.  Just eat whatever happens to grow.

Why?  You'll read about it today.  Fascinating!

Read it here.
