Leviticus 27:22 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:22

And if [a man] sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath
bought
With his own money, of some person in poverty and distress, who was obliged to sell it, and which, according to a former law, returned to the original proprietor in the year of jubilee:

which [is] not of the fields of his possession;
which he has not by inheritance from his fathers. Jarchi observes, there is a difference between a field bought, and a field possessed; for a field bought is not divided to the priests in the year of jubilee, because a man cannot sanctify it but until the year of jubilee; for in the year of jubilee it would go out of his hands, and return to the owner; wherefore if he comes to redeem it, he must redeem it with the price fixed for the field of possession: the Jewish doctors are divided about a field bought of a father by a son, whether it is a field of purchase or of possession F6.

Leviticus 27:22 In-Context

20 And if he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again,
21 and the field shall be a holy object for Yahweh when it goes out in the Jubilee, like a devoted field; {it shall be the priest's property}.
22 " 'And if he consecrates for Yahweh his acquired field that [is] not the field of his [inherited] possession,
23 then the priest shall calculate for him the {amount} of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day [as] a holy object for Yahweh.
24 In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land [is].
