Bart Byl on Leviticus 25:1-7.

Israel received the Promised Land as a gift from God, and they were to steward it as tenants under God's ultimate ownership. The fallow laws in Leviticus 25 suggest several principles of 'ecological righteousness' for today: curbing consumption, sharing with the community, tending to the needs of animals, and making sustainable choices. We can't be righteous if we abuse God's earth. As disciples of Jesus, the second Adam, we take up our original mandate to cultivate and protect God's garden.
