Leviticus 25:1,2 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Was not this precept intended to teach the LORD'S people to look back and consider how, in the garden of Eden, there would have been a perpetual rest to the land, and a constant Sabbath to the LORD, but for the transgression? And was it not also intended, to teach the LORD'S people to look forward to him, who is himself the Sabbath and rest of his people, and hath prepared a rest for them? Psalms 116:7.
