- to the year:
- That is, the year of Jubilee, called the year of liberty, because there was then a general release. All servants had their liberty; and all alienated estates returned to their former owners. "And ye shall hallowª°¹ the fiftiethª² year,ª and proclaimª° libertyª throughout [all] the landª unto all¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof: it¹ shall be¹ a jubileª unto you; and ye shall returnª° every manª unto¹ his possession,ª and ye shall returnª° every manª unto¹ his family.ª" {Lev 25:10} + "Forª [the kingdom of heaven is] asª a manª travelling into a far country,ª° [who] calledª° his ownª servants,ª andª deliveredª° unto themª his²¹ goods.ª° ... Forª unto every oneª that hathª° shall be given,ª° andª he shall have abundance:ª° butª fromª him²¹ that hathª° notª shall be taken awayª°² evenª¹¹ that whichª he hath.ª°" {Mtt 25:14-29} + "(Andª they saidª° unto him,ª Lord,ª he hathª° tenª pounds.)ª ... Forª I sayª° unto you,ª Thatª unto every oneª which² hathª° shall be given;ª° andª fromª him that hathª° not,ª evenª thatª he hathª° shall be taken awayª° fromª him.ª" {Lke 19:25-26} + "Neverthelessª whatª saithª° the¹ scripture?ª Cast outª° the¹ bondwomanª andª herª son:ª forª the¹ sonª of the¹ bondwomanª shall²° notª be heirª° with²¹ the¹ sonª of the¹ freewoman.ª ... So then,ª brethren,ª we areª° notª childrenª of the bondwoman,ª butª of the¹ free.ª" {Gal 4:30-31}
