Leviticus 27:18-23

27:18 but if ¹  he consecrates his field after the jubilee, the priest will calculate the price ²  for him according to the years that are left until the next jubilee year, and it will be deducted from the conversion value. 27:19 If, however, the one who consecrated the field redeems it, ³  he must add to it one fifth of the conversion price ⁴  and it will belong to him. ⁵  27:20 If he does not redeem the field, but sells ⁶  the field to someone else, he may never redeem it. 27:21 When it reverts ⁷  in the jubilee, the field will be holy to the Lord like a permanently dedicated field; ⁸  it will become the priest’s property. ⁹ 

27:22 “‘If he consecrates to the Lord a field he has purchased, ¹⁰  which is not part of his own landed property, 27:23 the priest will calculate for him the amount of its conversion value until the jubilee year, and he must pay ¹¹  the conversion value on that jubilee day as something that is holy to the Lord.

Philippians 4:5

4:5 Let everyone see your gentleness. ¹²  The Lord is near!

¹ tn Heb “And if.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have adversative force here.

² tn Heb “the silver.”

³ tn Heb “And if redeeming [infinitive absolute] he redeems [finite verb] the field, the one who consecrated it.” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

⁴ tn Heb “the silver of the conversion value.”

⁵ tn Heb “and it shall rise to him.” See HALOT 1087 s.v. קום 7 for the rendering offered here, but see also the note on the end of v. 14 above (cf. J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 476, 478).

⁶ tn Heb “and if he sells.”

⁷ tn Heb “When it goes out” (cf. Lev 25:25-34).

⁸ 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.

⁹ tn Heb “to the priest it shall be his property.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “his field of purchase,” which is to be distinguished from his own ancestral “landed property” (cf. v. 16 above).

¹¹ tn Heb “give” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NLT).

¹² tn Grk “let your gentleness be seen by all.” The passive voice construction has been converted to active voice in the translation for stylistic reasons.
