21 but at the jubilee it shall be released(A) as sacred[a] to the Lord; like a field that is put under the ban, it shall become priestly property.
Read full chapterFootnotes
- 27:21 Released as sacred: the dedication changes the ownership of the land. It now belongs to the sanctuary. It returns to the sanctuary’s possession after leasing it out (v. 20). Presumably if the land remained in the sanctuary’s possession until the jubilee, and it was not redeemed, the land would belong permanently to the sanctuary and priests.
Leviticus 27:21
New International Version
21 When the field is released in the Jubilee,(A) it will become holy,(B) like a field devoted to the Lord;(C) it will become priestly property.
