Sabbatical Year:
every seventh year, during which the land, according to the law of Moses, had to remain uncultivated (Lev 25:2-7; Exd 23:10,11,12; Lev 26:34,35). Whatever grew of itself during that year was not for the owner of the land, but for the poor and the stranger and the beasts of the field. All debts, except those of foreigners, were to be remitted (Deu 15:1-11). There is little notice of the observance of this year in Biblical history. It appears to have been much neglected (2Ch 36:20,21).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
