8And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

11A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
Verse explanation
The Year of Jubilee arrived every fifty years, seven cycles of seven plus one, and worked as society’s reset button: land sold out of necessity returned to the original family, and anyone who had become a servant for debt regained their freedom. The idea was to keep poverty or the loss of land from becoming permanent across generations.
From the Leviticus 25 study in Bible in Stories.
