Ministry on This Verse

A jubilee.Respecting the literal meaning of the word [ywbl,] {yobel,} or {yovel,} critics are not agreed.
The most natural derivation of the word seems to be from [hwbyl,] {hovil,} the {Hiphil} form of [ybl,] {yaval,} to recall, restore, or bring back, because this year restored all slaves to their liberty, and brought back all alienated estates to their primitive owners.
Accordingly the LXX. render it here [aphesis,] a "remission"; and Josephus says it signifies [eleutherian,] liberty.
Lev. 27:17• 17If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand. (Lev. 27:17)
ye shall.
Lev. 25:5‑7• 5That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
 6And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
 7And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. (Lev. 25:5‑7)
• Then God's mercy shall flow like a river on Israel repentant and believing; and the jubilee shall sound for the long distant and deaf, the atoning sacrifice being received in faith and true affliction of heart to the denial of self and all manner of work. Liberty shall be proclaimed, and a return shall be for every man, and for every man to his family. As the land shall mourn, every family apart and their wives apart in self-judgment, so all will be united in joy when the restitution of all things arrives. “A jubilee this fiftieth year shall be to you.” (“Leviticus 25:8-13, Year of Jubilee” by W. Kelly)
