Forgiveness Precedes Freedom
Commentators highlight the profound timing of the Jubilee announcement. The trumpet of freedom was sounded on the Day of Atonement, immediately after the nation had sought and received forgiveness for their sins. This sequence teaches a powerful lesson: experiencing God's grace and forgiveness is the foundation for extending grace, liberty, and restoration to others. As God forgave their debts, they were to forgive the debts of their neighbors.
