Se reposer pour la terre, se reposer pour Dieu (French, Hardcover)

The sabbatical year law in Lv 25,1 7 stipulates the rest of the land and includes foreigners in the list of the beneficiaries, differently from the fallow year law in Ex 23,10 11 and from the debt-release law in Dt 15,1 11. These characteristic features originate from the universalism of creation theology of the Holiness Code: the sabbatical year law in Leviticus aims to practice the God s creation order in Gn 1 2,4a in human history. Moreover, this law functions as a criterion of the interpretation of the history of Israel."
