| | 27:21 |
When the field is then released by the jubilee, it becomes consecrated to God, like a field that has been declared taboo, and it then becomes the hereditary property of the priest.
Vehayah hasadeh betseto vayovel kodesh l'Adonay kisdeh hacherem lakohen tihyeh achuzato. |
| 27:22 |
Sixth Reading
If the field that one consecrates to God is not his hereditary property but a field he has bought,
Ve'im et-sdeh miknato asher lo misdeh achuzato yakdish l'Adonay. |
| 27:23 |
the priest shall calculate the proportion of its endowment valuation on the basis of the number of years remaining until the [next] jubilee year. On that day, [anyone] can [redeem it by] giving its endowment valuation as something consecrated to God.
Vechishav-lo hakohen et michsat ha'erkecha ad shnat hayovel venatan et-ha'erkecha bayom hahu kodesh l'Adonay. |

| of the priest
It is given to the priests serving on the new year of the jubilee (Yad, Arakhin 4:24).
