There's a part of Israel's ancient law code that spells out a radical economic practice.

It's so radical, it's actually hard to imagine how it would actually take place.

And there's no evidence that it was ever done in Israel.

Well, the Vitticus 25 or 10, on that 50th year it says, Proclaim a Release.

That shall be a Yovale, a Jubilee for you.

So this is where it gets the name Jubilee, it's the Hebrew word Yovale.

Each of you shall return to his own property, each of you to his own family.

You shall have the 50th year as a year of Jubilee, no sewing, no reaping, no gathering.

It's a Jubilee, it's holy, eat what the land produces.

So it's that people going back to their own property.

In ancient context, this would keep any one group from having too much land.

It is a super Sabbath.

This practice is the year of Jubilee.

So imagine your nation is relight.

And something happened, things have taken a turn for the worse.

Maybe you made a bad investment.

Maybe your family became ill and you're unable to work.

You had to sell your possessions.

And you may have to sell your portion of land that was allotted to you and become servants

to another family.

How would you ever get yourself out of this situation and not pass it on from generation

to generation?
