Leviticus 27:22

22 Yf a man sanctifie vnto the Lorde a felde which he hath boughte and is not of his enheritaunce

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.
