 It is difficult to comprehend how Hashem could command a person to
 abandon his fields in the seventh year. Moreover, in Yovel, the fields
 which have previously been sold must be returned to their owners. It                                                 “Do not give him your money for interest, and

 the money of Bnei Yisrael. For example, when giving ma’aser, there is a
 specified amount of charity that one is commanded to give.                                                           land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan,

 general rules and all the fine points of all the commandments were stated
