The Divine Calendar
Commentators explain that this verse establishes a grand cycle of time: seven "sabbaths of years," meaning seven periods of seven years, which totals forty-nine years. This "week of weeks" in years sets the stage for the great Jubilee in the 50th year. This structure shows God's design for rhythm and rest at every level of Israel's life.
