Leviticus 27:19-21
New English Translation
19 If, however, the one who consecrated the field redeems it,[a] he must add to it one-fifth of the conversion price[b] and it will belong to him.[c] 20 If he does not redeem the field, but sells[d] the field to someone else, he may never redeem it. 21 When it reverts[e] in the Jubilee, the field will be holy to the Lord like a permanently dedicated field;[f] it will become the priest’s property.[g]

- Leviticus 27:19 tn Heb “And if redeeming [infinitive absolute] he redeems [finite verb] the field, the one who consecrated it.” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.
- Leviticus 27:19 tn Heb “the silver of the conversion value.”
- Leviticus 27:19 tn Heb “and it shall rise to him.” See HALOT 1087 s.v. קום 7 for the rendering offered here, but see also the note on the end of v. 14 above (cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 476, 478).
- Leviticus 27:20 tn Heb “and if he sells.”
- Leviticus 27:21 tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).
- Leviticus 27:21 tn Heb “like the field of the permanent dedication.” The Hebrew word חֵרֶם (kherem) is a much discussed term. In this and the following verses it refers in a general way to the fact that something is permanently devoted to the Lord and therefore cannot be redeemed (cf. v. 20b). See J. A. Naudé, NIDOTTE 2:276-77; N. Lohfink, TDOT 5:180-99, esp. pp. 184, 188, and 198-99; and the numerous explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 483-85.
- Leviticus 27:21 tn Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”

19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it,(A) they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. 20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee,(B) it will become holy,(C) like a field devoted to the Lord;(D) it will become priestly property.
