The most natural derivation of the word seems to be from, הוביל, hovil, the Hiphil form of יבל, yaval, to recall, restore, or bring back, because this year restored all slaves to their liberty, and brought back all alienated estates to their primitive owners. Accordingly the LXX render it here, a "remission"; and Josephus says it signifies, liberty.

They were not to sow from the sixth to the eighth year, omitting two seed times; nor reap from the sixth to the ninth, omitting two harvests. No legislator, unless conscious of being divinely commissioned, would have committed himself by enacting such a law as this; nor would any people have submitted to receive it, except in consequence of the fullest conviction that a divine authority had dictated it. It therefore stands as a proof that Moses acted by the express direction of the Almighty, and that the people were fully persuaded of the reality of his divine mission by the miracles he wrought.

The Israelite might redeem himself, or one of his kindred might redeem him; but this must not be done to the prejudice of his master. They were therefore to reckon the years he must have served, from that time till the jubilee; and then taking the current wages of a servant, per year, at that time, multiply the remaining years by that sum, and the aggregate was to be given to his master for his redemption. The Jews hold that the kindred of such a person were bound, if in their power, to redeem him, lest he should be swallowed up among the heathen; and we find - Nehemiah 5:8 that this was done by the Jews on their return from the Babylonish captivity.according to the timeLeviticus 25:40, 25:53; Deuteronomy 15:18; Job 7:1, 7:2, 14:6; Isaiah 16:14, 21:16ReciprocalLuke 4:19 - General Verse 51ReciprocalLeviticus 25:24 - redemption; 27:18 - General Verse 52jubileeThe jubilee was a wonderful institution, and of great service to the religion, freedom, and independence of the Hebrews. It was calculated to prevent the rich from oppressing the poor, and reducing them to perpetual slavery; and to hinder their obtaining possession of all the lands by purchase, mortgage, or usurpation. It was further intended, that debts should not be multiplied too much, lest the poor should be entirely ruined; that slaves should not always continue in servitude; that personal liberty, equality of property, and the regular order of families might, as much as possible, be preserved; and that the people might thus be strongly attached to their country, lands, and inheritances.ReciprocalLeviticus 27:18 - General Verse 53Leviticus 25:43ReciprocalExodus 1:14 - was with rigour; Leviticus 25:50 - according to the time Verse 54in these yearsor, by these meansthenLeviticus 25:40, 25:41; Exodus 21:2, 21:3; Isaiah 49:9, 49:25, 52:3
