A Former Atheist

[Hatshepsut]

I'm on my phone and looking up the reference is unwieldy so I'll get to it later tonight ... but I don't think you're correct about Jubilee liberation, Hash.

Thanks for the heads-up. It's in Leviticus chap. 25. I was correct and wrong both. Jubilee came every 50 years, not 7 like I thought. Although there was a 7 x 7 + 1 computation and the 7-year subdivisions may have been of importance, as "agricultural sabbaticals" of some sort. Israelites in servitude went free at the jubilee (Lev. 25:40), but foreigners did not. 50% isn't a bad score when I haven't read this stuff in a quarter century.
