This verse contains a short statement of the two purposes of the jubilee:

(1) to proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof;

(2) ye shall return every man unto his possession.

Leviticus 25:11, Leviticus 25:12

So far as the tillage of the land went, the jubilee year was to have the same effect as a sabbatical year.
