Context — Rules about Valuations
20If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.
21When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it becomes the property of the priests.
22Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,
23then the priest shall calculate for him the value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay the assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD. 24In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.Cross References

Leviticus 27:22 Summary
In Leviticus 27:22, we see that a man can consecrate a field he has purchased to the LORD, which means he sets it apart for God's use. This shows that everything we have, including our possessions and resources, belongs to God and should be used for His purposes (Psalm 24:1). By consecrating the field, the man is acknowledging that it is not solely his own, but is entrusted to him by God (Matthew 25:14-30). This teaches us to be good stewards of what we have, using it in a way that honors the LORD.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of consecrating a field to the LORD in Leviticus 27:22?
Consecrating a field to the LORD means setting it apart for His use and purposes, similar to what is described in Exodus 30:13-16, where the Israelites were to give a portion of their wealth to the LORD as a sacred offering.
Why does the verse specify that the field is not part of the man's own property?
This distinction is important because it highlights the fact that the field was acquired through purchase, and its consecration to the LORD is a separate act from the initial purchase, as seen in Leviticus 25:10, where the Year of Jubilee is described as a time when properties are returned to their original owners.
How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship in the Bible?
This verse illustrates the principle of stewardship, where believers are called to manage the resources they have been given, including their possessions, in a way that honors the LORD, as taught in Matthew 25:14-30, where the parable of the talents emphasizes the importance of responsible stewardship.
What can we learn from the Israelites' practice of consecrating fields to the LORD?
We can learn that our possessions and resources are not solely our own, but are entrusted to us by God, and that we should be willing to surrender them to His purposes, as seen in Acts 4:32-37, where the early church shared their resources with one another.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas of my life where I can consecrate my resources to the LORD, just like the Israelites did with their fields?
- How can I ensure that my possessions and wealth are being used for the LORD's purposes, rather than just my own desires?
- What does it mean for me to 'set apart' something for the LORD, and how can I apply this principle in my daily life?
- In what ways can I trust the LORD with my resources, just as the Israelites trusted Him with their fields, and how can I demonstrate that trust in my actions?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 27:22
And if [a man] sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought,.... With his own money, of some person in poverty and distress, who was obliged to sell it, and which, according to a former law,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 27:22
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.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 27:22
Leviticus 27:22 And if [a man] sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which [is] not of the fields of his possession;Ver. 22. Of his possession,] i.e., Not his patrimony, but his purchase.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 27:22
(22) And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought.—But if a man vows a field which he has acquired by purchase, and which is only his till the next jubile, when it reverts to its original owner (see Leviticus 25:25-28), the case is necessarily different. Such a leased field, when vowed to the Lord, is to be dealt with as follows :—
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 27:22
22-24. Sanctify… a field… bought — In the case of the vow of a field not inherited but purchased, the amount of the valuation was to be paid all at once in that day, that is, the day of the estimation.
