Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(33) And if a man purchase of the Levites.--Better, And if one of the Levites redeem it, that is, even if a Levite redeemed the house which his brother Levite was obliged to sell through poverty, the general law of house property is not to obtain even among the Levites themselves. They are to treat each other according to the law of landed property.Then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out.--Better, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall go out, that is, in the year of jubile the house is to revert to the vendor just as if it were landed property. Thus, for instance, the house of the Levite A, which he, out of poverty, was obliged to sell to the non-Levite B, and which was redeemed from him by a Levite C, reverts in the jubile year from the Levite C to the original Levitical proprietor A. It is, however, more than probable that the negative particle has dropped out of the text, and that the passage as it originally stood was, "And if one of the Levites doth not redeem it." That is, if he does not act the part of the nearest of kin, then the house reverts in the year of jubile to the original Levitical owner, just as landed property. The Vulg. has still the negative particle.For the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession.--As these houses were all which the Levites possessed, they were as important to them as the land was to the other tribes, hence they were to be treated legally in the same way as the soil.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo whateverוַאֲשֶׁ֤ר (wa·’ă·šer)Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatbelongs toמִן־ (min-)PrepositionStrong's 4480: A part of, from, out ofthe Levitesהַלְוִיִּ֔ם (hal·wî·yim)Article | Noun - proper - masculine pluralStrong's 3881: Levites -- descendant of Levimay be redeemed—יִגְאַל֙ (yiḡ·’al)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1350: To redeem, act as kinsmana houseבַּ֛יִת (ba·yiṯ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1004: A housesoldמִמְכַּר־ (mim·kar-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4465: Merchandise, a sellingin a cityוְעִ֥יר (wə·‘îr)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 5892: Excitementthey possess—אֲחֻזָּת֖וֹ (’ă·ḥuz·zā·ṯōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 272: Something seized, a possessionand must be releasedוְיָצָ֧א (wə·yā·ṣā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximin the Jubilee,בַּיֹּבֵ֑ל (bay·yō·ḇêl)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3104: A ram, ram's horn (a wind instrument)becauseכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionthe housesבָתֵּ֞י (ḇāt·tê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1004: A housein the citiesעָרֵ֣י (‘ā·rê)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 5892: Excitementof the Levitesהַלְוִיִּ֗ם (hal·wî·yim)Article | Noun - proper - masculine pluralStrong's 3881: Levites -- descendant of Leviare their possessionאֲחֻזָּתָ֔ם (’ă·ḥuz·zā·ṯām)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 272: Something seized, a possessionamongבְּת֖וֹךְ (bə·ṯō·wḵ)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 8432: A bisection, the centrethe Israelites.בְּנֵ֥י (bə·nê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A sonJump to PreviousBelongs Children Cities City Exchanged Exercise Hold House Houses Israel Israelites Jubilee Levite Midst Money Possession Property Purchase Redeem Redeemed Redeemeth Redemption Released Reverts Right Sale Sold Towns Year
