SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:18
Ejecutad, pues, mis estatutos, y guardad mis derechos, y ponedlos por obra, y habitaréis en la tierra seguros;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them , etc.] These and all others he enjoined; by which tenure, even obedience to all his commands, moral, ritual, and judicial, they were to hold the land of Canaan, and their possessions in it, which is intended in the next clause: and ye shall dwell in the land in safety ; without any fear of enemies, or of the neighbouring nations about them seizing upon them, and distressing them; and Jarchi observes, that it was for transgressing the sabbatical year that Israel was carried captive, which he thinks is intimated in ( Chronicles 36:21); and that the seventy years’ captivity in Babylon were for the seventy sabbatical years that had been neglected.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-22 - The word "jubilee" signifies a peculiarly animated sound of the silve trumpets. This sound was to be made on the evening of the great day of atonement; for the proclamation of gospel liberty and salvation result from the sacrifice of the Redeemer. It was provided that the land should not be sold away from their families. They could only be disposed of, as it were, by leases till the year of jubilee, and the returned to the owner or his heir. This tended to preserve their tribe and families distinct, till the coming of the Messiah. The libert every man was born to, if sold or forfeited, should return at the yea of jubilee. This was typical of redemption by Christ from the slaver of sin and Satan, and of being brought again to the liberty of the children of God. All bargains ought to be made by this rule, "Ye shal not oppress one another," not take advantage of one another's ignoranc or necessity, "but thou shalt fear thy God." The fear of God reignin in the heart, would restrain from doing wrong to our neighbour in wor or deed. Assurance was given that they should be great gainers, by observing these years of rest. If we are careful to do our duty, we ma trust God with our comfort. This was a miracle for an encouragement to all neither sowed or reaped. This was a miracle for an encouragement to all God's people, in all ages, to trust him in the way of duty. Ther is nothing lost by faith and self-denial in obedience. Some asked, What shall we eat the seventh year? Thus many Christians anticipate evils questioning what they shall do, and fearing to proceed in the way of duty. But we have no right to anticipate evils, so as to distres ourselves about them. To carnal minds we may appear to act absurdly but the path of duty is ever the path of safety.
