The textual outline of Leviticus 25

As with the preceding chapters of Leviticus, the clause, I am the Lord your God, signals the close of a sub-unit within the chapter (Leviticus 25:17, Leviticus 25:38, Leviticus 25:55). These units also contain a theological exhortation for observing the law. As such, the chapter may be divided into three main sections:

Leviticus 25:1                 Introduction Leviticus 25:2–22         The Year of Jubilee: A Sabbath for the Land Leviticus 25:23–38     The Year of Jubilee: The Redemption of Property  Leviticus 25:39–55     The Year of Jubilee: The Redemption of Slaves
