If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land. The dedication of purchased land — land that the dedicator bought from someone else, not the family's ancestral inheritance — follows different regulations from the inheritance-land dedication. The distinction between the purchased field and the ancestral inheritance communicates the covenant's sensitivity to the difference between property that is part of the covenant's generational transfer (the inheritance) and property that is part of the commercial market.
