Context — Rules about Valuations
15But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.
16If a man consecrates to the LORD a parcel of his land, then your valuation shall be proportional to the seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed.
17If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation.
18But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest is to calculate the price in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your valuation will be reduced. 19And if the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it shall belong to him.Leviticus 27:17 Summary
[Leviticus 27:17 teaches that when we dedicate something to the Lord, we are making a commitment to use it for His purposes, and the value of that commitment is determined by the Lord's standards, not our own (see also Matthew 6:19-21). Consecrating a field during the Year of Jubilee means that we are giving it to the Lord without expecting to get it back, and the price of consecration is set according to the Lord's valuation (as explained in Leviticus 27:16). This verse reminds us that our resources and possessions belong to the Lord, and we are stewards of them, as seen in Psalm 24:1, and that we should use them in a way that honors Him.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of consecrating a field during the Year of Jubilee in Leviticus 27:17?
Consecrating a field during the Year of Jubilee means that the field is dedicated to the Lord, and the price of consecration is determined by the valuation of the priest, as stated in Leviticus 27:16, which takes into account the amount of seed required for the field.
How does the price of consecration change if the field is consecrated after the Year of Jubilee?
If the field is consecrated after the Year of Jubilee, the price of consecration is adjusted according to the number of years remaining until the next Jubilee, as explained in Leviticus 27:18, to reflect the reduced value of the field over time.
Can the person who consecrated the field redeem it later?
Yes, according to Leviticus 27:19, the person who consecrated the field can redeem it by paying the assessed value plus an additional fifth, similar to the process described in Leviticus 27:15 for redeeming a consecrated house.
What is the purpose of the Year of Jubilee in the context of Leviticus 27:17?
The Year of Jubilee, as described in Leviticus 25:8-55, is a time of restoration and renewal, when debts are forgiven and land is returned to its original owners, providing a fresh start for the community, and consecrating a field during this time reflects a commitment to the Lord's principles of justice and mercy (see also Isaiah 61:1-2).
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean to consecrate something to the Lord, and how can I apply this concept to my own life?
- How can I balance the desire to give to the Lord with the practical considerations of my own needs and resources?
- What role does faith and trust play in making decisions about giving and consecrating resources to the Lord, as seen in Leviticus 27:17?
- How can I ensure that my giving and consecrating are motivated by a genuine desire to honor the Lord, rather than self-interest or obligation?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 27:17
If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee,.... The very year, as Aben Ezra, while it is current, or when it is past, and he immediately sanctifies it for an holy use, and one comes to redeem
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 27:17
And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 27:17
From the year of jubilee, i.e. immediately after the year of jubilee is past. According to thy estimation, now mentioned, to wit, of fifty shekels for an homer of barley seed. It shall stand, i.e. that price shall be paid without diminution.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 27:17
(17) If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile.—That is, the above-named valuation of fifty shekels only applies if he makes the vow immediately after the expiration of the year of jubile, when the period covered by this estimation is forty-nine years.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 27:17
17-19. From the year of jubilee — If the vow covered the entire ante-jubilee period, the whole fifty shekels must be paid either in one payment or in annual instalments.
