THE MESSAGE
"Keep my decrees and observe my laws and you will live secure in the land. The land will yield its fruit; you will have all you can eat and will live safe and secure. Do I hear you ask, ‘What are we going to eat in the seventh year if we don't plant or harvest?' I assure you, I will send such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years. While you plant in the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and continue until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.

Contextual Overview
8And you shall count off seven sabbaths of years-seven times seven years-so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years. 9Then you are to sound the trumpet far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land. 10So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan. 11The fiftieth year will be a jubilee for you; you are not to sow or reap what grows by itself or harvest the untended vines. 12For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field. 13In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property. 14If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of one another. 15You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining. 16In proportion to a greater number of years you shall increase the price, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests. 17Do not take advantage of one another, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them,.... These and all others he enjoined; by which tenure, even obedience to all his commands, moral, ritual, and judicial, they were to hold the land of Canaan, and their possessions in it, which is intended in the next clause:
and ye shall dwell in the land in safety; without any fear of enemies, or of the neighbouring nations about them seizing upon them, and distressing them; and Jarchi observes, that it was for transgressing the sabbatical year that Israel was carried captive, which he thinks is intimated in 2 Chronicles 36:21; and that the seventy years' captivity in Babylon were for the seventy sabbatical years that had been neglected.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
