I was reading Lev 25 last night. It makes interesting reading with vast implications for the pharisees in the guise of the wmscog. The Sabbath year demands no sowing or reaping. I guess in an industrial, urban situation, this means that one should not be employed as well. Is that so? All wmscog members would have to stop going to work. Wonder if they have any members who are farmers.
More interestingly, the 50 years is a jubilee year (apparently they are now celebrating it) which is again a year of no reaping and sowing. This immediately follows the 49th year which would have been a Sabbath year. In other words, last year and this year would be the years when wmscog members should not be working at all. Obviously no wages means 10% of zero from all members.
Simon, you are our resident Hebrew expert. What do you think?
