If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold the field to someone else, it can never be redeemed. The unredeemed field that is also sold — the double alienation of the dedicated property — cannot be redeemed. The person who dedicated the field and then also sold it has removed the field from both the covenant's redemption system and the family's inheritance. The irrevocability of the doubly-alienated field communicates the covenant's seriousness about consecrated property.
