While many refer to June 19th as Juneteenth, it is also widely known as Jubilee Day in Southern states. Jubilee refers to an Old Testament celebration instituted in Leviticus 25 to occur every 50 years. The year began on the Day of Atonement when the priests blew the shofar (a ram’s horn).
In the Year of Jubilee, God required the Israelites to forgive each other’s debts, return land to its original owners or families, and let the land rest. Israelite bond servants could buy their freedom from foreign masters in the land.
The year was a reminder that God brought his people out of slavery in Egypt and into the promised land as his own people—a foreshadowing of God’s purchasing his people from slavery to sin with the death and resurrection of Jesus....
The transatlantic slave trade drastically differed from the bondservice of ancient Israel. Like other Western countries, America’s system of chattel slavery was driven largely by racism—the belief that some so-called races were of lesser value than others. As part of the corrupt and vile practices within the slave trade, millions of image bearers were kidnapped, trafficked, and abused.
Though Jubilee is not an equal comparison to the Emancipation Proclamation or the 13th Amendment, it reminds us of the good news: God sent his Son to set sinners free and enter into his rest.

The master may not eat fine bread while the slave eats coarse bread; the master may not drink aged wine while the slave drinks new wine; the master may not sleep on cushions while the slave sleeps on straw. From here they said: “Whoever acquires a Hebrew slave acquires a master for himself” (kol ha-koneh eved Ivri, koneh adon le-atzmo).
I welcome corrections from any Talmudic scholars.
One thing they didn't think to do: condemn the birthplace of slavery - Africa.
Go pee in your own damned cornflakes, ya sourness!
