Hebrews 13:5-6: "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content (ἀρκούμενοι) with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'"

OT-to-OT Development:

  • Hebrews quotes Deuteronomy 31:6, 8 and Joshua 1:5 (divine presence promise)
  • Also quotes Psalm 118:6 (confidence in God as helper)
  • Sabbatical year trust becomes permanent spiritual disposition

Connections:

Christological Connection: God's supply is "according to his riches in glory IN CHRIST JESUS." The sabbatical year provision pointed to Christ as the source of all blessing. Hebrews 13:5-6 grounds contentment in Christ's promise never to leave or forsake His people. The sabbatical year required trust for one year; in Christ, believers live by continuous trust. "The Lord is my helper" fulfills what the sixth-year provision typified - God enables obedient faith.

Trajectory: Sabbatical Year

Connection Method(s): Analogy, Longitudinal Theme — The sabbatical year's periodic trust is internalized as the believer's continuous disposition of contentment, grounded in Christ's promise to supply every need "according to his riches in glory."
