During the Jubilee, land that had been sold was to be returned to its original family owners. This reflects God's ownership of the land and His desire for economic balance and social justice. The Jubilee year is a reminder of God's provision and the importance of rest and renewal. It also foreshadows the ultimate liberation and restoration found in Christ, who proclaimed the "year of the Lord's favor" (<a href="/luke/4-19.htm">Luke 4:19</a>).<p><b>it will become holy</b><br>The term "holy" signifies something set apart for God. In the context of Leviticus, holiness is a central theme, emphasizing the distinctiveness of God's people and their possessions. When the field becomes holy, it is dedicated to God's purposes, indicating a transfer from common use to sacred use. This reflects the broader biblical principle that all creation is ultimately for God's glory and service.<p><b>like a field devoted to the LORD</b><br>Fields devoted to the LORD were considered irrevocably given to God, often through a vow or dedication. Such fields could not be redeemed or sold, as they were permanently set apart for divine purposes. This devotion underscores the seriousness of vows and the importance of fulfilling commitments to God. It also highlights the idea that what is given to God is not to be taken lightly, reflecting the call to wholehearted devotion.<p><b>it becomes the property of the priests</b><br>The priests, as mediators between God and the people, were responsible for the sacred duties of the tabernacle and later the temple. They did not have a tribal inheritance like the other tribes of Israel, as their inheritance was the LORD (<a href="/numbers/18-20.htm">Numbers 18:20</a>). Thus, the property given to the priests supported their ministry and service. This provision ensured that those who served in spiritual capacities were cared for, a principle echoed in the New Testament regarding the support of those in ministry (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-13.htm">1 Corinthians 9:13-14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_jubilee_year.htm">The Jubilee Year</a></b><br>A significant event in Israelite society occurring every 50th year, where land and property were returned to original owners, and debts were forgiven.

These priests, however, have to pay for it the valuation money.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/27-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">When the field</span><br /><span class="heb">הַשָּׂדֶ֜ה</span> <span class="translit">(haś·śā·ḏeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
