[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sure they had a Jubilee but they also could take you and sell you and your family as unpaid laborers for unpaid debt.

So if you defaulted on a debt in year 1 you had 49 years of servitude for you and your family. In year 2 you had 48 years and so on.

As the Jubilee got nearer the amount of the loan you could take out got smaller and smaller.

The Almighty never intended us to be thieves either.
