Leviticus 25 commands Sabbath years in which the land rests. Leviticus 26 later warns that covenant rebellion can lead to exile and desolation so that the land will “enjoy her sabbaths.” The judgment section therefore turns neglected land-rest obligations into part of the logic of exile, directly developing the Sabbath-year legislation within Leviticus itself.

Second Chronicles 36 interprets Judah’s exile as a period in which the land finally enjoys its Sabbaths, directly recalling Leviticus’s Sabbath-year and covenant-curse logic. Leviticus 25 commands land rest, and Leviticus 26 warns that exile and desolation will make the land rest when Israel has refused that covenant rhythm.

Exodus commands a seventh-year release of the land so it may rest and the poor may eat; Leviticus 25 develops that principle into an explicit Sabbath year for the land. The later law expands an earlier Torah pattern into fuller agricultural legislation.
