1 tn Heb “you [plural] shall return, a man.”
2 tn Heb “from the year of the jubilee.” For the meaning of “jubilee,” see the note on Lev 25:10 above.
3 tn Heb “And if.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have adversative force here.
4 tn Heb “the silver.”
5 tn Heb “give” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NLT).
6 tn That is, the produce of the land (fem.; cf. v. 7 above).
7 tn Heb “you shall not sow and you shall not…and you shall not….”
sn See v. 5 above and the notes there.
8 tn See the note on Lev 25:6 above.
9 tn Heb “but if a little remains in the years.”
10 tn Heb “And if.”
11 tn Heb “go out.”
12 tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).
13 tn 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
14 tn Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”
15 tn Heb “And if his hand has not found sufficiency of returning.” Although some versions take this to mean that he has not made enough to regain the land (e.g., NASB, NRSV; see also B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 176), the combination of terms in Hebrew corresponds to the portion of v. 27 that refers specifically to refunding the money (cf. v. 27; see NIV and G. J. Wenham, Leviticus [NICOT], 315).
16 tn Heb “his sale.”
17 tn Heb “will be in the hand of.” This refers to the temporary control of the one who purchased its produce until the next year of jubilee, at which time it would revert to the original owner.
18 tn Heb “it shall go out” (so KJV, ASV; see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 176).
19 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the original owner of the land) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
20 tn Heb “in the number of years after.”
21 tn The words “that are left” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
sn The purchaser is actually buying only the crops that the land will produce until the next jubilee, since the land will revert to the original owner at that time. The purchaser, therefore, is not actually buying the land itself.
22 tn Heb “until fulfilling to it a complete year.’
23 tn Heb “the house which [is] in the city which to it [is] a wall.” The Kethib has לֹא (lo’, “no, not”) rather than לוֹ (lo, “to it”) which is the Qere.
24 tn See the note on v. 23 above.
25 tn Heb “And the houses of the villages.”
26 tn Heb “which there is not to them a wall.”
