SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:17
Y no engañe ninguno a su prójimo; mas tendrás temor de tu Dios; porque yo soy el SEÑOR vuestro Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another , etc.] By over or underrating estates: but thou shalt fear thy God ; and the fear of God being before their eyes, and on their hearts, would preserve both buyer and seller from doing an ill thing, when it was in the power of either, through the necessity of the one, or the ignorance of the other, (see Nehemiah 5:15): for I [am] the Lord your God ; omniscient, and knows all that is done in the most private and artful manner; and omnipotent and able to punish both, which of them either should oppress or defraud, (see 1 Thessalonians 4:6).
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.
