Today's reading in Exodus and Leviticus describes the 7th year sabbatical for the land.  As many of the laws, history will show this practice to be scientifically sound.  Many of the laws governing cleansing of mold and mildew and also of skin rashes and impurities, became good , sound health practice.  The scripture, however, is clear that these laws are to be followed because everything belongs to God. 

After the completion of  7 cycles of these 7th year sabbiticals, the 50th year is the Year of Jubilee where all land and slaves are "set free".
