benefits. It is well to observe, however, that the law was neglected and proved a contributing cause to their subsequent captivity in Babylon, see II Chronicles 36:21, in the light of the immediate context.

The Law of the Jubilee Year

How often did the Jubilee year come (Leviticus 25:10)? How and when announced (Leviticus 25:9)? Who and what was set free in that year? Individuals that had come into bondage and land that had been sold, Leviticus 25:10, 13-17, 23-28, 39-42, 47-55. On what principle of equity were these transfers to be made (Leviticus 25:14-17, 25-27, 50-52)? On what ground were they to be jealous of oppressing one another (Leviticus 25:17)? What reward promised to obedience (Leviticus 25:18-19)? Why could not the land be sold out-right (Leviticus 25:23)? What does this suggest as to the probable future return of Israel to that land (Isaiah 11:10-16; Jeremiah 32:36-42; Ezekiel 34:11-15)? What exceptions are made to the return of property in the jubilee (Leviticus 25:29-30, 32-33)? It has been suggested that this provision was made to encourage strangers to settle among them. They could not purchase land, but might purchase houses in walled cities as convenient for purposes of trade, etc. What prohibition is laid in the matter of slavery (Leviticus 25:39-42)?

It is unnecessary to point out that the Jubilee must have been “the most soul-stirring and enrapturing” of all the Jewish solemnities. It was connected with the Day of Atonement and based upon what it effected. Redemptive joy comes through the shed blood of the great Substitute. The feast bore witness to the glad day spoken of for Israel by all the prophets.

The Types of Christ

Leviticus is so full of precious suggestions of the person and work of Christ, that to enumerate them would be to repeat a large part of what has been said. But the three most conspicuous types are:

• The offerings
• The priesthood
• The two goats

Numbers 1-19

A secondary name for Numbers might be “The book of the journeyings,” since it gives the story of Israel from the departure from Sinai to the arrival at Moab on the border of Canaan. If
