About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of disobeying God's command regarding the sabbath year and the societal issues that arise from ill-gotten wealth.
Every six years God promises a bumper crop so Israel will let the land have a sabbath in the seventh year. Obeying this command requires no faith - the farmer can see the sixth year bounty. If he plants on the seventh year, he is taking more than God is offering. Such ill-gotten wealth creates all sorts of societal problems.
