De 15:1,2

SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:10

Y les mandó Moisés, diciendo: Al principio del séptimo año, en el tiempo del año de la remisión, en la fiesta de los tabernáculos,

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:10

Verse 10. - 11. At the end of every seven years-thou shalt read this law] Every seventh year was a year of
release, chap. xv. 1, at which time the people's minds, being under a peculiar degree of solemnity, were better disposed to hear and profit by the words of God. I suppose on this ground also that the whole book of Genesis is meant, as it alone contains an epitome of the whole Pentateuch. And in this way some of the chief Jewish rabbins understand this place.

It is strange that this commandment, relative to a public reading of the law every seven years, should have been rarely attended to. It does not appear that from the time mentioned Josh. viii. 30, at which time this public reading first took place, till the reign of Jehoshaphat 2 Chron. xvii. 7, there was any public seventh year reading-a period of 530 years. The next seventh year reading was not till the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, 2 Chronicles xxxiv. 30, a space of two hundred and eighty-two years. Nor do we flnd any other publicly mentioned from this time till the return from the Babylonish captivity, Neh. viii. 2. Nor is there any other on record from that time to the destruction of Jerusalem. See Dodd.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 10. And Moses commanded them , etc.] The priests and the elders, to whom the law was delivered: saying ; as follows: at the end of [every] seven years ; every seventh year was a year of rest to the land, and of remission of debts to poor debtors: at the close of this year or going out of it, according to the Misnah f556 , even on the eighth year coming in, the following was to be done, namely, the reading of the law; and so Jarchi interprets it of the first year of release, the eighth, that is, the first year after the year of release; but Aben Ezra better interprets it of the beginning of the seventh year; for as he elsewhere observes on ( Deuteronomy 15:1); the word signifies the extremity of the year, and there are two extremities of it, the beginning and the end, and the first extremity is meant; which is more likely than that the reading of the law should be put off to the end of the year, and which seems to be confirmed by what follows: in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles , or “in the appointed time” f557 ; of the year of release, of the release of debtors from their debts, ( Deuteronomy 15:1,2); when the time or season appointed and fixed was come: moreover, what is here directed to being to be done at the feast of tabernacles, shows it to be at the beginning of the year, since that feast was in the month Tisri, which was originally the beginning of the year, before the coming of the children of Israel out of Egypt, and still continued so for many things, and particularly for the years of release f558 ; and this was a very proper time for the reading of the law, when all the increase of the earth and fruits thereof were gathered in; and so their hearts filled, or at least should be, with gladness and gratitude; and when there was no tillage of the land, being the seventh year, and so were at leisure for such service; and when all poor debtors were released from their debts, and so were freed from all cares and troubles, and could better attend unto it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 9-13 - Though we read the word in private, we must not think it needless to hear it read in public. This solemn reading of the law must be done in the year of
release. The year of release was typical of gospel grace which is called the acceptable year of the Lord; for our pardon an liberty by Christ, engage us to keep his commandments. It must be rea to all Israel, men, women, children, and to the strangers. It is the will of God that all people should acquaint themselves with his word It is a rule to all, therefore should be read to all. Whoever has rea of the pains taken by many persons to get scraps of the Scriptures when a whole copy could not be obtained, or safely possessed, will se how thankful we should be for the thousands of copies amongst us. The will also understand the very different situation in which the Israelites were placed for many ages. But the heart of man is s careless, that all will be found too little, to keep up a knowledge of the truths, precepts, and worship of God.
