20 Mas si él no redimiere la tierra, y la tierra se vendiere a otro, no la redimirá más

Levítico 27:20 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:20

And if he will not redeem the field
He that sanctified it, does not care to give for it the settled price of the fifth part besides, but chooses it should be disposed of for the uses he devoted it to:

or if he have sold the field to another man;
that is, either the original owner having bought it and sold it again, or rather the priest, the treasurer, as Jarchi, who had the disposal of it, for the uses and purposes for which it was devoted, when sold by him:

it shall not be redeemed any more;
it was not in the power of him that sanctified it to make a purchase of it again; the buyer of it might not sell it to him again, for otherwise, by that means, he might come at it cheaper than the law directs; besides, there is another reason for it, which is suggested in ( Leviticus 27:21 ) .

Levítico 27:20 In-Context

18 Mas si después del jubileo santificare su tierra, entonces el sacerdote hará la cuenta del dinero conforme a los años que quedaren hasta el año del jubileo, y se rebajará de tu estimación

19 Y si el que santificó la tierra quisiere redimirla, añadirá a tu estimación el quinto del dinero de ella, y le quedará para él

20 Mas si él no redimiere la tierra, y la tierra se vendiere a otro, no la redimirá más

21 sino que cuando saliere en el jubileo, la tierra será santa al SEÑOR, como tierra de anatema; la posesión de ella será del sacerdote

22 Y si santificare alguno al SEÑOR la tierra que él compró, que no era de la tierra de su herencia
