Strong's Lexicon yobel: Jubilee, ram's horn, trumpet Original Word: יוֹבֵל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: yowbel Pronunciation: yoh-BAYL Phonetic Spelling: (yo-bale') Definition: Jubilee, ram's horn, trumpet Meaning: the blast of a, horn, a trumpet Word Origin: Derived from the root יָבַל (yabal), meaning "to bring" or "to carry." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "yobel" in the Septuagint or New Testament, as the concept of Jubilee is unique to the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the Greek word "aphesis" (Strong's G859), meaning "release" or "forgiveness," captures the spirit of liberation associated with the Jubilee. Usage: The term "yobel" primarily refers to the Jubilee year, a significant time in the Hebrew calendar occurring every 50th year. It is a time of liberation and restoration, where slaves are freed, debts are forgiven, and land is returned to its original owners. The word is also used to denote the ram's horn trumpet, which was blown to signal the start of the Jubilee year. Cultural and Historical Background: The concept of the Jubilee is deeply rooted in the social and religious life of ancient Israel. Instituted by God in Leviticus 25, the Jubilee year was a time of economic and social reset, reflecting God's desire for justice, mercy, and equality among His people. It served as a reminder of God's provision and ownership of the land, emphasizing that the Israelites were stewards rather than owners. The blowing of the ram's horn (yobel) was a powerful symbol of freedom and new beginnings.
