Lev 27:22-24 | MHM | STEP | v. 22-24 : If a person dedicated land that he had bought (not inherited from his family), he could only give the value of the land to the priests, not the land itself. The value was calculated based on how many years were left until the next Jubilee, since the land would return to the original family then. God wanted people to give honestly, not by taking what belonged to others (Leviticus 27:22-24; 1 Corinthians 16:2 ; Mark 7:11 ).
