Torah Portion: Behar
Torah Portion: Leviticus 25:1–26:2
Prophets: Jeremiah 32:6–27
New Testament: Luke 4:16-21
Overview: “Behar” discusses the sabbatical (Shemitah) year, the Jubilee (Yovel), and laws about property, servitude, and care for the poor. These laws emphasize rest, justice, and the recognition that the land and people ultimately belong to God.
Commentary: The Jubilee points to a future era of freedom and restoration. For Messianic believers, Yeshua’s proclamation of liberty in Luke 4 aligns with the themes of Jubilee, symbolizing His mission to bring spiritual freedom and redemption.
