Leviticus 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.

Leviticus 27:19 In-Context

17 If you give your field in the jubilee year, it will have its full value.
18 But if you give the field after the jubilee year, the priest will estimate its value based on the number of years left until the next jubilee year.
19 If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.
20 But if you don't buy it back and it is sold to someone else, you cannot buy it back.
21 When the field is released in the jubilee year, it will be holy like a field claimed by the LORD. It will become the property of the priest.
