“And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.”
Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan. The Jubilee's proclamation: liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. The return to family property and to one's own clan is the covenant's provision for the economic reset that prevents the permanent concentration of land and wealth in a few families across generations. Leviticus 25:10 is the verse inscribed on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia — the covenant's proclamation of economic freedom became the symbol of national political freedom.
