Context of Leviticus 27:19

17If the field is dedicated to the Lord in the Year of Jubilee, then the entire assessment will apply. 18But if the field is dedicated after the Year of Jubilee, the priest will assess the land’s value in proportion to the number of years left until the next Year of Jubilee. Its assessed value is reduced each year. If the person who dedicated the field wants to buy it back, he must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent. Then the field will again be legally his. 20But if he does not want to buy it back, and it is sold to someone else, the field can no longer be bought back. 21When the field is released in the Year of Jubilee, it will be holy, a field specially set apart for the Lord. It will become the property of the priests.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-25Verses 14-25 Our houses, lands, cattle, and all our substance, must be used to the glory of God.

If a landowner consecrated his field without redeeming it, it did not return to his family in the Year of Jubilee.Read the comment
