“But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.”
When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the Lord; it will become priestly property. The unredeemed dedicated field that passes through the Jubilee becomes holy and the priestly community's permanent property. The field that was not redeemed by the original family and returns at the Jubilee goes not to the original family but to the priests. The devoted-to-the-Lord field becomes priestly property because the original family's failure to redeem has transferred the covenant's property rights to the covenant's servants.
