Contextual Overview

14And when a man sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands; 15and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his. 16And if a man sanctifies to YHWH from a field of his possession, then your valuation has been according to its seed—a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver; 17if he sanctifies his field from the Year of the Jubilee, according to your valuation it stands; 18and if he sanctifies his field after the Jubilee, then the priest has reckoned the money to him according to the years which are left, to the Year of the Jubilee, and it has been diminished from your valuation. 19And if he really redeems the field—he who is sanctifying it—then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has been established to him; 20and if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed anymore; 21and the field has been, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to YHWH as a field which is devoted; his possession is for the priest. 22And if he sanctifies a field of his purchase to YHWH, which [is] not of the fields of his possession, 23then the priest has reckoned to him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and he has given your valuation in that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the year of jubilee, the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought,.... Not to him that sanctified it, whether he redeemed it or not; nor to him that bought it of the treasurer of the temple after it was sanctified; but to the original proprietor and owner of it, of whom he bought it that sanctified it, for so it follows:

[even] to him to whom the possession of the land [did belong]; which was a possession of his he had by inheritance from his fathers, and therefore, according to the law of the year of jubilee, was then to return to him, and could be retained no longer, nor even converted to holy uses; for as it is said in the Misnah h,

"a field of purchase goes not out to the priests in the year of jubilee; for no man can sanctify a thing which is not his own;''

as what he had purchased was no longer his than to the year of jubilee, and therefore could not devote it to sacred uses for any longer time.

h Ut supra. (Hilchot Eracin, c. 4. sect. 26.)
