Leviticus 25; Leviticus 26; Leviticus 27
Each seventh year is to be kept as a sabbath year—Each fiftieth year is to be one of jubilee, in which liberty is proclaimed throughout the land—Laws are revealed for the sale and redemption of lands, houses, and servants—The land is the Lord’s, as are the servants—Usury is forbidden. Temporal and spiritual blessings will abound in Israel if the people keep the commandments—Cursing, scourging, and desolation will be theirs if they disobey the Lord—When his people repent, the Lord will show mercy unto them. How properties are consecrated unto the Lord is explained—Israel is commanded to pay tithes of their crops, flocks, and herds.
Often we take too narrow a view of life like the little twig on the end of furthest limb of a tree. It is vital with buds and blossoms full and fragrant. However, it would be foolish for that little twig to say it had no need of the limb. Cut from the tree it could not survive a single day but it would wither and die. Its beauty and fragrance gone. To be fragrant foliage we must remain attached to the source of our strength. We must study the words of the prophets in the scriptures.
