Given by: Noah, in his testament, charging his sons to keep the practice of release. Given to: his descendants — the book ties the timing to its own reckoning, though the enduring duty is open-handed release in righteousness.

The sabbatical release, given in Israel's law, let the land rest and debts be cancelled, guarding against endless accumulation and hardness of heart; Jubilees roots this rhythm of open-handedness in Noah's testament to his sons.

And in the fifth year make ye the release so that ye release it in righteousness and uprightness, and ye shall be righteous, and all that you plant shall prosper.

Noah charges his sons to practise release — letting go in righteousness and uprightness — with the promise that such open-handed obedience brings prospering.
