Every 50 years, it is a year of forgiveness, slaves were liberated, and grounds equally parted.
See Leviticus 25:8-11

Wow Justme! I didn't know this but I grew up in a town called Zion, where the streets running North and South name after names in the Bible in alphabetical order, I lived on Gabriel. This town was a dry town, no drinking allowed out side your home. Every summer they still have a Jubilee Weekend with a parade, carnival, open sidewalk vendors for food and arts and crafts and they crown a Jubilee Queen! Wow is this pagan??

The concept of the Jubilee is a special year of remission of sins and universal pardon. In the Biblical book of Leviticus, a Jubilee year is mentioned to occur every fifty years, in which slaves and prisoners would be freed, debts would be forgiven and the mercies of God would be particularly manifest. In Christianity, the tradition dates to 1300, when Pope Boniface VIII convoked a holy year. Christian Jubilees, particularly in the Catholic tradition, generally involve pilgrimage to a sacred site, normally the city of Rome. At various times in Church history, they have been celebrated every 50 or 25 years.
Here is the Christian belief... There are plenty more though.

Your question has been answered. What I wonder is why the book of Jubilee was taken out of the Bible. If you can help, please email me.

Are you looking for an answer to what it means or do you want to know if we know. Every 50 years prisoners and slaves were set free. Jewish custom.

It was the 50th year. The slaves were free to go and all land was given back.
