Parashah Points: Behar – Release Your Debt

The Torah portion Behar (Leviticus 25) introduces the Sabbatical (shemitah) and Jubilee years, during which the land rests, fields lie fallow, and debts are released. This Parashah Point explains that every seventh year debts were forgiven and slaves released, and in the fiftieth year land was returned to its original families. God’s system prevented perpetual poverty and reminded Israel that the land and all provision belong to Him. The teaching encourages believers to trust YHWH’s provision and practice compassion and generosity. Fri, 19 Nov 2021 16:31:09
