Are you overlooking the basis of the jubilee? It required that the land
revert to the family originally owning it at the conquest of the Holy
Land. No subsequent immigrant had any claim to it. Do we apply that to
the aboriginal "owners," who did not have private ownership? to the first
settlers at Jamestown and Plymouth? to the pioneers led by Boone and his
ilk? Where does this leave the Boston Irish and the Cleveland Poles, and
all Afro-Americans? Note that it was not money that was returned, but
real estate.

How sad. The wealth gap is real and I wonder why Christians seem to be
unwilling to apply the concept of Jubilee to rectify these inequities.
Money and tools are hardly an analogy.
So why do you love it Janice since I find few redeeming Christian aspects
in the message, other than perhaps 'apologetics'
