Vayikra 27:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:19

And if he that sanctified the field shall in any wise redeem
it
Is desirous of it, and determined upon it at any rate, repenting that he had parted with it in this manner:

then he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation to
it:
the Jerusalem Targum is, the fifth part of the shekels of silver: that is, if he has a mind to redeem it, and is resolved on it, as soon as he has sanctified it, then, besides the fifty shekels of silver it is rated at, and might be sold for to another, he must pay a fifth part thereof, that is, ten shekels more, for reasons before given, ( Leviticus 27:15 ) ;

and it shall be assured to him;
remain firm and stable with him, abide by him, and he in the possession of it as his property, ever after, as if he had never sanctified it.

Vayikra 27:19 In-Context

17 If he set apart as kodesh his sadeh from the Shnat HaYovel, according to thy evaluation it shall remain.
18 But if he set apart as kodesh his sadeh after the Yovel, then the kohen shall reckon unto him the kesef according to the shanim that remain, even unto the Shnat HaYovel, and it shall be deducted from thy evaluation.
19 And if he that set apart as kodesh the sadeh will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the kesef of thy evaluation unto it, and it shall be his.
20 And if he will not redeem the sadeh, or if he have sold the sadeh to ish achar (another man), it shall not be redeemed any more.
21 But the sadeh, when it is released in the Yovel, shall be kodesh unto Hashem, as a sadeh hacherem (devoted); the possession thereof shall be the kohen’s.
