Leviticus 25

The laws relating to money and property (holdings) - what are they for? Like house prices today in Paris or Sydney or Toronto or Vancouver? Explosive entitlement? The land is mine, says Yahweh. We wonder... We probably should pay more attention. Let those who have two houses give one away to someone with none. (Somehow I doubt this will happen - voluntarily.) These cities have no walls so the law of walled cities does not apply. (There's a crude anachronism.)

The grammar is very strange here. Plural and singular are mixed in the same thought. (E.g. see Milgrom Leviticus p. 2155. One could spend the rest of one's life in Leviticus.)

Verse 32 is the first instance I have found of עולם being read as whenever, or at any time. I wonder if this represents a change in the use of the word or if I have missed it elsewhere.

There is no distinction in Hebrew between the words for servant and slave. All translation, even the simple act of glossing, is interpretation.

My English is more and more sparse as the chapter goes on, because the Hebrew is sparse. Translations may fill in the blanks. The Jubilee sets a limit to contracted labour and the chapter sets limits to perpetual service within Israel but it specifically does not preclude effective slavery. I would not want to be living under such limited contract law. But where is Yahweh in this? Yahweh is in the redemptive role having brought Israel out of their bondage in Egypt. Where is Yahweh for me whether I am in or out of Israel today? Yahweh is in my relationships, a very complex web, and in the culture of my land that respects the wage-earner as means of production and as consumer. But all this is subject also to the draw of market forces that can cause hard times.

I have deliberately not translated גור as stranger. Stranger is זור. They must have some difference. (We have already seen the guest workers conscripted for temple construction. The monarchy seems to be operating within Torah regulations.) Note there is no distinction between guest and immigrant, and by extension, being slaves of Yahweh, the slaves should not be harsh with those who are guests and immigrants to them - if they/we get the point (a somewhat unlikely happening - but hopeful we are).

Curious that the verb for hold fast and the noun for holdings are from the stem אחז, the name of the not so nice king, Ahaz.

וְיָרֵ֖אתָ מֵֽאֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ occurs 3 times - only in Leviticus does this form of fear + God occur (chapter 19 twice, here 3 times). 

Verses 35-36 appear to universalize the love of associate. In encouraging fairness to everyone whether guest worker or immigrant, these two verses effectively render all as kin. Admittedly there is also distinction between kin and guest/immigrant and other nations in the remainder of the chapter. But Israel is guest and immigrant with Yahweh (verse 23), so if we get the point, all will be considered kin. Therefore all will be implied in the love of associate commandment of chapter 19.

Leviticus 25 Fn Min Max Syll
וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה בְּהַ֥ר סִינַ֖י לֵאמֹֽר 1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses on mount Sinai, saying, 3e 4C 14
דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵהֶ֔ם כִּ֤י תָבֹ֙אוּ֙ אֶל־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנִ֖י נֹתֵ֣ן לָכֶ֑ם
וְשָׁבְתָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ שַׁבָּ֖ת לַיהוָֽה
2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come to the land that I am giving to you,
then the land will keep Sabbath, the Sabbath of Yahweh.
3e 4C 30

שֵׁ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ תִּזְרַ֣ע שָׂדֶ֔ךָ וְשֵׁ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים תִּזְמֹ֣ר כַּרְמֶ֑ךָ
וְאָסַפְתָּ֖ אֶת־תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ
3 C Six years you will sow a field, and six years you will prune your vineyard,
and gather its income.

שָֽׂדְךָ֙ לֹ֣א תִזְרָ֔ע וְכַרְמְךָ֖ לֹ֥א תִזְמֹֽר
4 Then in the seventh year will be the Sabbath of Sabbaths for the land, the Sabbath of Yahweh.

שְׁנַ֥ת שַׁבָּת֖וֹן יִהְיֶ֥ה לָאָֽרֶץ

וְאִ֨ם לֹֽא־מָֽצְאָ֜ה יָד֗וֹ דֵּי֮ הָשִׁ֣יב לוֹ֒ וְהָיָ֣ה מִמְכָּר֗וֹ בְּיַד֙ הַקֹּנֶ֣ה אֹת֔וֹ עַ֖ד שְׁנַ֣ת הַיּוֹבֵ֑ל
וְיָצָא֙ בַּיֹּבֵ֔ל וְשָׁ֖ב לַאֲחֻזָּתֽוֹ

13
וְאִ֗ישׁ כִּֽי־יִמְכֹּ֤ר בֵּית־מוֹשַׁב֙ עִ֣יר חוֹמָ֔ה וְהָיְתָה֙ גְּאֻלָּת֔וֹ עַד־תֹּ֖ם שְׁנַ֣ת מִמְכָּר֑וֹ
יָמִ֖ים תִּהְיֶ֥ה גְאֻלָּתֽוֹ

וּבָתֵּ֣י הַחֲצֵרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֵין־לָהֶ֤ם חֹמָה֙ סָבִ֔יב עַל־שְׂדֵ֥ה הָאָ֖רֶץ יֵחָשֵׁ֑ב

33 And when someone redeems from the Levites, then a house that was sold will come forth, and the city of his holdings, in the Jubilee,
for the houses of the cities of the Levites, this is of their holdings among the children of Israel.
3c 4C 25

וְאִם־מְעַ֞ט נִשְׁאַ֧ר בַּשָּׁנִ֛ים עַד־שְׁנַ֥ת הַיֹּבֵ֖ל וְחִשַּׁב־ל֑וֹ
כְּפִ֣י שָׁנָ֔יו יָשִׁ֖יב אֶת־גְּאֻלָּתֽוֹ
52 And if fewer are residue in the years until the year of the Jubilee, then he will reckon for him.
in proportion to its years, he will return his redemption.

כִּשְׂכִ֥יר שָׁנָ֛ה בְּשָׁנָ֖ה יִהְיֶ֣ה עִמּ֑וֹ
לֹֽא־יִרְדֶּ֥נּֽוּ בְּפֶ֖רֶךְ לְעֵינֶֽיךָ
53 As a year in year out wage-earner it will be with him.
He will not rule harshly in your sight.

וְאִם־לֹ֥א יִגָּאֵ֖ל בְּאֵ֑לֶּה
וְיָצָא֙ בִּשְׁנַ֣ת הַיֹּבֵ֔ל ה֖וּא וּבָנָ֥יו עִמּֽוֹ
54 And if he will not redeem in these,
then he will come forth in the year of the Jubilee, he and his children with him.

כִּֽי־לִ֤י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עֲבָדִ֔ים עֲבָדַ֣י הֵ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵ֥אתִי אוֹתָ֖ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם
אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם
55 For to me the children of Israel are servants. My servants they are that I brought out from the land of Egypt.
I am Yahweh your God.
