4 Since God was the ultimate owner of the land of Israel, since He had given tenant possession of the land to the people of Israel forever (Gen. Gen. 13:15; 2Chr. 2Chr. 10:7), and since the Israelites were only the tenant administrators of Gods land, they were forbidden to sell the land forever [Lev. Lev. 25:23]. . . If . . . an Israelite became so poverty-stricken that he was forced to sell the portion of land that was his tenant possession, he did not sell the ownership of the land. Instead, he sold the tenant possession or administration of the portion of the land for a temporary period of time (Lev. Lev. 25:16, Lev. 25:25-27). . . . God required that a sold tenant possession be returned to the original tenant or his heir in the year of jubilee (Lev. Lev. 25:10, Lev. 25:13, Lev. 25:28; Lev. 27:24).Renald E.
