Footnotes

  1. 26 Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25–34).
  2. 27 Heb “like the field of the permanent dedication.” The Hebrew word חֵרֶם (kherem) is a much discussed term. In this and the following verses it refers in a general way to the fact that something is permanently devoted to the Lord and therefore cannot be redeemed (cf. v. 20b). See J. A. Naudé, 2:; N. Lohfink, 5:180–99, esp. pp. 184, 188, and 198–99; and the numerous explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (), .
  3. 28 Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”
