Ezekiel 45:4

45:4 It will be a holy portion of the land; it will be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary who approach the Lord to minister to him. It will be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. ¹ 

Leviticus 27:21

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 tc The LXX apparently understood “open land” instead of “sanctuary.”

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.”
