18 But if he ſan&tific his field after the Jubile c, then the prieſt ſhal reckonunto him the money, according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the Jubi- le d, and it ſhal be abated from thy eſtimation.
c ( i:e: )- Some conſiderable time after the Jubile, « as appears from thefollowing words. 4 The defalcation from the full price of fifty ſhekels being to be more or leſs as the yearsare more or few- er. See Levit: 25: I5, IG, I7. : DE ER
19 And if he that ſandiified the field will in any wiſe redeemit, then heſhal add the fifth paz? of the money of thy eſtimation untoirt, andit ſhal be affured ro him.
20 And if he will norredeem the field e, or if he have ſo!d the field fto another man, itſhal not be redeemed any more g. :
c To wit, when the Prieſt ſhall ſet a price upon it,and offer it to him in the firſt place to redeem it. f He, who ? Either 1. the man chat vowed it; if he, after ſuch a vow made ſhall negle& to pay his vow,and ſhall ſacrilegiouſly ſell the ſame land to another man : or if he ſell it, i: e: ſuffer it to be ſold to another, and will not prevent that by redeemingit to himſelf. Or rather 2. the Prieſt, or ſome in his name, who though nor expreſſed, is ſufficiently underſtood our of the foregoing clauſe, If he will not redeem or buy again the field, to wit, of the Prieſt, who is now the ſeller of it ; or, or rather and, for this ſeems to be added by way of accumulation, if he, :: e: the Prieſt, of whom he might have redeemed it, upon his refuſal, offers itto ſale, and have ſold the field to another man, Add tothis, that none but the Prieſt could fell this land, after it was once vow- ed and declared to be ſo, and offered by the Prieſt to him againto redeem it, which is apparently the preſent caſe. g (i: e: ) He ſhall for ever loſe the benefit of redemprion. |
21 Butthe field when it goeth out + in the Jubile, [hal be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted : the poſſeflion thereof ſhal be the prieſts z.
h (i:e: ) Out ofthe poſſeſſion of the other man to whom the Prieſt ſold it, # For their maintainance. Nor is this repugnant to that/law, that the Prieſts ſhould have no inheritance in the land, Numb. 18. 20. for that is only ſpoken of them and the whole tribe of Lev; in general, and in reference to the firſt diviſion of the land, where- in the Levites werenot to have a diſtin part of land, as other tribes had ; bur this doth not hinder, but ſome particular lands might be vowed and given to the Prieſts either for their own benefit, or for the ſervice of the SanQtuary.
22 And if a man ſandifie unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which 5s not of the fields of his poſlefiion & ; |
