not redeeme] Neither he nor his next kinsman, Chap. 25. 25. See Gen. 5: 73 or if he have sold it] This is not meant, as some conceive, of him that dedicated the field by vow; for he could not sell it, having vowed it before, (unlesse he had redeemed it, which it here denied) but of some officer of the Sanctuary, as a Steward, or Treasurer, who managed such matters for the best behoofe and benefit thereof: so that though (hee) be the same word, the person may be varied: yet others conceive it to be meant of the person vowing, when either he neglected to redeeme his vow, or fraudulently sought to transferre the title of the field vowed, from God to another, in which cases he lost all liberty of redemption; and though he that bought it might possesse it untill the yeare of Jubile, yet then it was not to returne to the seller, but to the Priest, by vertue of the precedent vow; yet so that the Priests were to transferre the right of it to some of the same Tribe, and first of all to the neerest kinsman of him that vowed it; because the Land was divided betwixt the other Tribes, (among whom the Levites had no part allotted, Numbers 18:20.) whose portions were not to be confounded.
