Parsha “Behar” (Leviticus chapters 25, essentially) is one of the shortest in the annual reading cycle. Certainly one of the most ignored. And, as Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship shows pretty clearly, it’s one that we NEVER should have pretended was “done away with.”
Yes, verse 10 is in fact inscribed on the Liberty Bell, which only helps make the omission more poignant.
And there are even some words in here that, transliterated, even sound a bit familiar. Like, “Jubliee,” from the 50 year (7×7+1) cycle know in Hebrew as ‘yovel.’
The Erev Shabbat reading lays out the specifics of the “sevens” of years, and the seven-sevens:
But it’s not just the Big Lie that the “Old” Testament has so much outdated stuff that’s been ‘done away with.’ It’s that the system of dishonest weights, and “money” that is nothing but debt, which multiplies without end, is pure slavery, with no Jubilee reprieve. Whether the banksters and fake priests of the world admit it or not, if YHVH’s Reset doesn’t happen every fifty years or so, His Great Reset will happen eventually, without fail.
And the irony of those who claim, “I am NOT “under the Law,” while being in bondage to a level of debt slavery the likes of which the world has never before seen, is not just palpable — it’s terminal.
Behar: “The Shmita, The Yovel [Jubilee], the REAL Great Reset – and other things we never should have ignored”
