Leviticus 25-27
This year, I plan on reading the Old Testament of the Bible within the 2012 calendar year. Follow me on this journey! Please, if you have questions or comments... let me know!
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 25: Jubilee
The Lord
speaks to Moses in the Mount Sinai. He tells him that for seven years the
children of Israel are to reap and sow the land. But in the eighth year they
are to not dress the fields or prune the vineyards, but are supposed to let the
land rest. In that same eighth year (or every eight years) the Lord will
provide more meat in the wilderness for them to eat, because for that eighth
year they will eat an increase in meat.
For
every 50 years something special happens, the Jubilee! Every 50 years in the
10th day of the seventh month during the week of Atonement, shall the Jubilee
trumpet sound.
The laws
of the sale of lands and homes are revealed and Usury is condemned by God.
Chapter 26: Keep the Commandments
Temporal
and Spiritual blessings can be for the children of Israel if they follow the commandments
of God. If they choose to disobey, then they will be followed by cursing, scourging
and desolations in the land. When people repent of their wrongdoings the Lord will
have mercy upon them.
7 times more
plagues for walking contrary to the laws and commandments of God. (Leviticus 26:21)
Chapter 27: Tithing
Properties
are consecrated unto the Lord. Israel is commanded to pay 1/10 of all their increase
in crops/flocks and herds. (Leviticus 27:32)
