Clarke's Leviticus 27:21 Bible Commentary
As a field devoted - It is חרם cherem, a thing so devoted to God as never more to be capable of being redeemed. See on Leviticus 27:29 (note).
Barnes's Leviticus 27:21 Bible Commentary
Devoted - See Leviticus 27:28 note.
Wesley's Leviticus 27:21 Bible Commentary
27:21 When it goeth out - That is, out of the possession of the other man to whom the priest sold it. The possession shall be the priests - For their maintenance. Nor is this repugnant to that law, that the priests should have no inheritance in the land, Num 18:20, for that is only spoken of, the tribe of Levi in general, in reference to the first division of the land, wherein the Levites were not to have a distinct part of land, as other tribes had; but this doth not hinder, but some particular lands might be vowed and given to the priests, either for their own benefit, or for the service of the sanctuary.
