Leviticus 27:16 (King James Version)
And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
- some part
- Though the words "some part" are not expressed, yet it is generally allowed that they should be supplied here; as it was not lawful for a man to alienate in this manner his whole patrimony: he might express his good will for the house of God but he must not impoverish his own family.
- of a field
- Acts 4:34-37 ; 5:4
- an homer
- or, the land of an homer, etc., i.e, as much land
- as required a homer of barley to sow it. The {homer} was very different from the {omer;} the latter held about three quarts, the former seventy-five gallons three pints.
- Isaiah 5:10 ; Ezekiel 45:11-14 ; Hosea 3:2
