Parallels

  • Leviticus 25:9-10 (structural): Immediate continuation: verse 9 prescribes sounding the trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month to proclaim the Jubilee, verse 10 declares the year of Jubilee following the seven times seven count in 25:8.
  • Exodus 23:10-11 (verbal): Earliest law prescribing a seven-year agricultural cycle and letting the land rest in the seventh year, parallel in concept and language to the sabbath-year count in Leviticus 25:8.
  • Deuteronomy 15:1-2 (thematic): Institutes the release (shemittah) at the end of every seven years for debts/slaves; reflects the same seven-year rhythm underlying Leviticus' sabbatical and Jubilee system.
  • 2 Chronicles 36:21 (allusion): Explains Israel's Babylonian exile as lasting until the land 'enjoyed its sabbaths,' explicitly alluding to the sabbatical/Jubilee rhythm described in Leviticus 25.
  • Jeremiah 34:13-14 (thematic): Condemns Judah for failing to release slaves as required in the year of release (sabbatical provision); demonstrates prophetic enforcement and social implications of the seven‑year cycle.

Parallels

  • Leviticus 25:10 (structural): Immediate context: the trumpet sounded on the tenth of the seventh month announces the Jubilee—'proclaim liberty throughout the land'—making 25:9 and 25:10 a single legal/ceremonial instruction.
  • Leviticus 23:24 (verbal): Both verses command blowing the shofar in the seventh month; 23:24 prescribes a trumpet blast for the holy convocation (Rosh HaShanah), showing the shofar's cultic role in seventh‑month observances.
  • Numbers 10:10 (thematic): Describes using trumpets to signal holy convocations, festivals and beginnings of months; parallels Leviticus 25:9's use of the trumpet as a ritual signal across Israelite cultic life.
  • Isaiah 27:13 (allusion): Speaks of a 'great trumpet' blown to gather exiles—an eschatological/Jubilee motif that echoes Leviticus' trumpet as proclamation and restoration.
  • Joel 2:1 (thematic): 'Blow a trumpet in Zion' functions as a summons and warning; parallels the shofar's role in Leviticus 25:9 as a public, sacred signal announcing a decisive divine act.

Parallels

  • Leviticus 25:8-13 (structural): Immediate context defining the Jubilee regulations (counting seven sabbath years, hallelujah of the fiftieth year) and setting out the same commands about proclaiming liberty and returning property.
  • Deuteronomy 15:1-11 (structural): Law of periodic release (the seven‑year remission of debts and freeing of servants) that parallels the Jubilee’s economic and social reset and the ethos of liberty and redistribution.
  • Isaiah 61:1-2 (allusion): Proclaims 'liberty to the captives' and 'the year of the LORD’s favor,' language thematically resonant with the Jubilee’s release and restoration motif.
  • Luke 4:18-19 (quotation): Jesus reads and applies Isaiah 61 (proclaiming liberty to the oppressed), implicitly invoking the Jubilee theme of release and restoration as fulfilled in his ministry.
  • Jeremiah 34:8-17 (thematic): Narrative about the release of Hebrew servants and the prophet’s rebuke when freed servants were re‑enslaved—engages the Jubilee principle of permanent liberty and covenant obligation.

  • Leviticus 25:10 (thematic): Jubilee proclamation ('proclaim liberty throughout the land') is the institutional backdrop: 25:40’s limitation of service 'until the year of release' points to the Jubilee described here.
  • Exodus 21:2 (structural): Parallel legislation on Hebrew servitude: a Hebrew slave serves a limited term (six years) and is then released, echoing the temporary character of service in Lev 25:40.

  • For the Israelites are servants to me; they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

You shall count for yourself seven sabbaths of years—seven years, seven times—and the days of the seven sabbaths of years shall be for you forty-nine years.

Then you shall sound the ram's-horn trumpet with a loud blast in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.

You shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; it shall be Jubilee for you. You shall return, each man to his holding, and each man to his family you shall return.

A Jubilee it is; the fiftieth year it shall be for you. You shall not sow, you shall not reap its aftergrowth, and you shall not harvest the grapes of its unpruned vines.

For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. From the field you shall eat its produce.

In this year of the Jubilee you shall return, each man to his holding. And when you sell property to your fellow or buy from your fellow's hand, you shall not wrong one another.

According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your fellow; according to the number of harvest years he shall sell to you.

In proportion to the many years you shall increase the purchase price, and in proportion to the few years you shall reduce the purchase price, for he is selling to you a number of harvests.

You shall not wrong one another; and you shall fear your God, for I am the LORD your God. And you shall do my statutes, and my ordinances you shall keep and do; and you shall dwell on the land securely. And the land shall give its fruit, and you shall eat to satisfaction and dwell upon it securely. And if you say, 'What shall we eat in the seventh year, since we will not sow and we will not gather our produce?'

Then I will command my blessing for you in the sixth year, and it shall produce the harvest for three years.

You shall sow in the eighth year, and you shall eat from the old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat the old.

The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are sojourners and residents with me. And in all the land of your holding you shall grant redemption for the land.

If your brother becomes poor and sells some of his holding, his nearest redeemer shall come and redeem what his brother sold. But if a man has no redeemer, yet his hand gains and he finds enough for his redemption,

then he shall reckon the years of its sale and return the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his holding. But if his hand does not find enough to return to him, then what he sold shall remain in the hand of the one who bought it until the year of the Jubilee; and it shall go out in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his holding.

If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, its redemption shall be until the completion of the year of its sale; for a full year shall its redemption be. But if it is not redeemed before a full year is completed for it, then the house that is in the city that has a wall shall stand in perpetuity to the one who bought it, throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the Jubilee. But houses in unwalled villages, which have no surrounding wall, shall be reckoned with the open field of the land; they may be redeemed, and in the Jubilee they shall go out. But as for the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their holding—a perpetual right of redemption shall be for the Levites. And what is redeemed from the Levites—namely, a house sale in a city of their holding—shall go out in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their holding among the Israelites. But the field of pastureland of their cities may not be sold, for it is an everlasting holding for them.

If your brother becomes poor and his hand falters with you, you shall strengthen him—the sojourner and the resident—that he may live with you.

You shall not take from him interest and increase; and you shall fear your God, so that your brother may live with you.

Your money you shall not give him at interest, and for increase you shall not give him your food.

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.

If your brother becomes poor beside you and is sold to you, you shall not make him serve the service of a slave.

As a hired worker and as a resident he shall be with you; until the year of the Jubilee he shall serve with you.

Then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and he shall return to his family, and to the holding of his fathers he shall return.

For they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as the sale of a slave.

You shall not rule over him with harshness, and you shall fear your God.

As for your male slave and your female slave who will be yours—from the nations that are around you, from them you may acquire male and female slaves.

Also from the children of the resident aliens who sojourn with you—from them you may acquire—and from their families that are with you, whom they have begotten in your land; and they shall be for you as a possession.

You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever; you may make them serve. But over your brothers, the Israelites—each over his brother—you shall not rule with harshness.

If the hand of a sojourner and resident with you prospers, and your brother beside him becomes poor and is sold to the sojourner resident with you, or to a clan-member of the sojourner's family,

after he is sold he shall have redemption: one of his brothers may redeem him,

or his uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him, or one of his near kin from his family may redeem him; or, if his hand gains, he may redeem himself.

He shall reckon with his buyer from the year that he was sold to him until the year of the Jubilee; and the money of his sale shall be according to the number of years—like the days of a hired worker he shall be with him.

If there are still many years, he shall refund his redemption in proportion to them out of the money of his purchase. But if few years remain until the year of the Jubilee, he shall reckon with him; according to his years he shall refund his redemption.

Like a hired worker, year by year he shall be with him; he shall not rule over him with harshness in your sight. And if he is not redeemed by these, then he shall go out in the year of the Jubilee, he and his children with him.

For the Israelites are servants to me; they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
