This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lev_25:10 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.
Ver. 10. And proclaim liberty.] See this expounded by the prophet Isaiah. {Isa_61:1-2 Luk_4:21} A most joyful jubilee indeed. In the year of Christ, 1617, the Pope proclaimed a jubilee for the peace of Italy and Austria. The Protestants also of Germany did the like, in honour of God, and for joy of the Reformation begun by Luther in Germany, a just {a} hundred of years before.
{a} [Exactly a hundred years before.]
