Leviticus 25:12 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

It shall be holy — So it was, because it was sequestered in great part from worldly employments and dedicated to God, and to the exercise of holy joy and thankfulness; and because it was a type of that holy and happy jubilee which they were to expect and enjoy under the Messiah. The increase thereof — Such things as it produced of itself. Out of the field — Whence they in common with others might take it as they needed it; but must not put it into barns, See Leviticus 25:5, and Exodus 23:11.
