but . It appears from this and several other passages , that the sabbatical year had been wholly neglected some centuries before the captivity; and the author of the second book of Chronicles . Jeremiah 36 . 21 assigns this as a reason for the captivity , "that the land might enjoy her sabbaths." Now , if we reckon the seventy years' captivity as a punishment for this neglect , it will follow that the law on this subject had been disregarded for about 490 years.
