A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
if a man shall sanctify unto the Lord some aprt of a field of his possession, &c.--In the case of acquired property in land, if not redeemed, it returned to the donor at the Jubilee; whereas the part of a hereditary estate, which had been vowed, did not revert to the owner, but remained attached in perpetuity to the sanctuary. The reason for this remarkable difference was to lay every man under an obligation to redeem the property, or stimulate his nearest kinsman to do it, in order to prevent a patrimonial inheritance going out from any family in Israel.

24 All the gold [02091] that was occupied [06213] for the work [04399] in all the work [04399] of the holy [06944] place, even the gold [02091] of the offering [08573], was twenty [06242] and nine [08672] talents [03603], and seven [07651] hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] shekels [08255], after the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944].
25 And all thy estimations [06187] shall be according to the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944]: twenty [06242] gerahs [01626] shall be the shekel [08255].
23 The land [0776] shall not be sold [04376] for ever [06783]: for the land [0776] is mine; for ye are strangers [01616] and sojourners [08453] with me.
24 And in all the land [0776] of your possession [0272] ye shall grant [05414] a redemption [01353] for the land [0776].
25 If thy brother [0251] be waxen poor [04134], and hath sold [04376] away some of his possession [0272], and if any of his kin [07138] come [0935] to redeem [01350] it, then shall he redeem [01350] that which his brother [0251] sold [04465].
26 And if the man [0376] have none to redeem [01350] it, and himself [03027] be able [01767] [05381] to redeem [04672] [01353] it;
27 Then let him count [02803] the years [08141] of the sale [04465] thereof, and restore [07725] the overplus [05736] unto the man [0376] to whom he sold [04376] it; that he may return [07725] unto his possession [0272].
28 But if he [03027] be not able [01767] to restore [04672] [07725] it to him, then that which is sold [04465] shall remain in the hand [03027] of him that hath bought [07069] it until the year [08141] of jubile [03104]: and in the jubile [03104] it shall go out [03318], and he shall return [07725] unto his possession [0272].
22 And if a man sanctify [06942] unto the LORD [03068] a field [07704] which he hath bought [04736], which is not of the fields [07704] of his possession [0272];
23 Then the priest [03548] shall reckon [02803] unto him the worth [04373] of thy estimation [06187], even unto the year [08141] of the jubile [03104]: and he shall give [05414] thine estimation [06187] in that day [03117], as a holy thing [06944] unto the LORD [03068].
24 In the year [08141] of the jubile [03104] the field [07704] shall return [07725] unto him of whom it was bought [07069], even to him to whom the possession [0272] of the land [0776] did belong.
28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing [02764], that a man [0376] shall devote [02763] unto the LORD [03068] of all that he hath, both of man [0120] and beast [0929], and of the field [07704] of his possession [0272], shall be sold [04376] or redeemed [01350]: every devoted thing [02764] is most [06944] holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068].
28 But if he [03027] be not able [01767] to restore [04672] [07725] it to him, then that which is sold [04465] shall remain in the hand [03027] of him that hath bought [07069] it until the year [08141] of jubile [03104]: and in the jubile [03104] it shall go out [03318], and he shall return [07725] unto his possession [0272].
20 And if he will not redeem [01350] the field [07704], or if he have sold [04376] the field [07704] to another [0312] man [0376], it shall not be redeemed [01350] any more.
21 But the field [07704], when it goeth out [03318] in the jubile [03104], shall be holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068], as a field [07704] devoted [02764]; the possession [0272] thereof shall be the priest's [03548].
15 And if he that sanctified [06942] it will redeem [01350] his house [01004], then he shall add [03254] the fifth [02549] part of the money [03701] of thy estimation [06187] unto it, and it shall be his.
13 But if he will at all [01350] redeem [01350] it, then he shall add [03254] a fifth [02549] part thereof unto thy estimation [06187].
19 And if he that sanctified [06942] the field [07704] will in any wise [01350] redeem [01350] it, then he shall add [03254] the fifth [02549] part of the money [03701] of thy estimation [06187] unto it, and it shall be assured [06965] to him.
23 The land [0776] shall not be sold [04376] for ever [06783]: for the land [0776] is mine; for ye are strangers [01616] and sojourners [08453] with me.
13 In the year [08141] of this jubile [03104] ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272].
21 But the field [07704], when it goeth out [03318] in the jubile [03104], shall be holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068], as a field [07704] devoted [02764]; the possession [0272] thereof shall be the priest's [03548].
17 If he sanctify [06942] his field [07704] from the year [08141] of jubile [03104], according to thy estimation [06187] it shall stand [06965].
18 But if he sanctify [06942] his field [07704] after [0310] the jubile [03104], then the priest [03548] shall reckon [02803] unto him the money [03701] according to [06310] the years [08141] that remain [03498], even unto the year [08141] of the jubile [03104], and it shall be abated [01639] from thy estimation [06187].
19 And if he that sanctified [06942] the field [07704] will in any wise [01350] redeem [01350] it, then he shall add [03254] the fifth [02549] part of the money [03701] of thy estimation [06187] unto it, and it shall be assured [06965] to him.
11 The ephah [0374] and the bath [01324] shall be of one [0259] measure [08506], that the bath [01324] may contain [05375] the tenth part [04643] of an homer [02563], and the ephah [0374] the tenth part [06224] of an homer [02563]: the measure [04971] thereof shall be after the homer [02563].
16 And if a man [0376] shall sanctify [06942] unto the LORD [03068] some part of a field [07704] of his possession [0272], then thy estimation [06187] shall be according [06310] to the seed [02233] thereof: an homer [02563] of barley [08184] seed [02233] shall be valued at fifty [02572] shekels [08255] of silver [03701].
22 And if a man sanctify [06942] unto the LORD [03068] a field [07704] which he hath bought [04736], which is not of the fields [07704] of his possession [0272];
16 This is the thing [01697] which [0834] the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680], Gather [03950] of it every man [0376] according [06310] to his eating [0400], an omer [06016] for every man [01538], according to the number [04557] of your persons [05315]; take [03947] ye every man [0376] for them which are in his tents [0168].
