If a landowner consecrated his field without redeeming it, it did not return to his family in the Year of Jubilee.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 16-2416-24. 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.
