Day 3: Leviticus 25.1-43

Social equality or free market?
Many traditional cultures assume that land cannot be owned, e.g. American Indians. Here God says ‘The land is mine’. So every 50 years the land has to revert to the original settlers; at the time of the conquest?

But property within walled cities can be sold subject to a year’s change of mind by the seller.

It assumes a static agricultural society. Is our equivalent the right to social security/state support?
