In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought, the one whose land it was. The Jubilee return of the purchased field goes not to the person who bought and dedicated it but to the person from whom it was originally purchased — the original family of the land. The Jubilee's land-return principle applies regardless of what the intermediate buyer did with the land: the land returns to the original family's ancestral inheritance. The dedicated purchased field's Jubilee return is the covenant's protection of the ancestral inheritance system.
