Who knows

By positing chuqim for God as well as for Man the Chumash preserves a social and political and economic system that includes property rights. Chuqim and mishpatim are quintessentially creatures of property rights. They delimit the extent of property rights from being absolutely lodged in Man, and the elites of Man, and they place the stewardship of those rights outside the reach of those in society who would accumulate power and wealth. 

The Chumash's system serves in much the same way as the American Constitution does to limit the power of the rulers. Under the rubric of reclaiming the power and the property away from the mundane and to the divine by suspending every seven and every seven times seven years Man's claims to power and to property the Chumash is making it difficult for the power elites to hold sway. The biblical system forces the rulers of society to set up institutions to provide for the poor, the infirm, the needy, the weak. 

Who knows, had the Children of Israel properly observed the laws of sheviit and shemitta there might never have arisen the prophecy of Jesus of Nazareth for there never would have been the need.
