Leviticus 27:29

Context
27:29 Any human being who is permanently dedicated 1  must not be ransomed; such a person must be put to death.

Leviticus 27:21

Context
27:21 When it reverts 2  in the jubilee, the field will be holy to the Lord like a permanently dedicated field; 3  it will become the priest’s property. 4 

1 tn Heb “permanently dedicated from among men.”

2 tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).

3 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 Lord and therefore cannot be redeemed (cf. v. 20b). See J. A. Naudé, NIDOTTE 2:276-77; N. Lohfink, TDOT 5:180-99, esp. pp. 184, 188, and 198-99; and the numerous explanations in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 483-85.

4 tn Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”
