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 the person gives a field at the year of Jubilee, its value will stay at what the priest has decided.
18 But if the person gives the field after the Jubilee, the priest must decide the exact price by counting the number of years to the next year of Jubilee. Then he will subtract that number from its value.
19 If the person who gave the field wants to buy it back, one-fifth must be added to that price, and the field will belong to the first owner again.
20 "'If the person does not buy back the field, or if it is sold to someone else, the first person cannot ever buy it back.
21 When the land is released at the year of Jubilee, it will become holy to the Lord, like land specially given to him. It will become the property of the priests.
