BeChuko-Thai Hebrew Parsha – 5th Aliyah

BeChuko-Thai(בְּחֻקֹּתַי)

Leviticus 26:3 – 27:24

Fifth Aliyah



27:16
If a man consecrates a field from his hereditary property to God, its endowment value shall be calculated according to the amount of seed [required to sow it], 50 silver shekels for each chomer of barley seed.
Ve’im misdeh achuzato yakdish ish l’Adonay vehayah erkecha lefi zar’o zera chomer se’orim bachamishim shekel kasef.
וְאִם מִשְּׂדֵה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ, יַקְדִּישׁ אִישׁ לַיהוָה–וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ, לְפִי זַרְעוֹ: זֶרַע חֹמֶר שְׂעֹרִים, בַּחֲמִשִּׁים שֶׁקֶל כָּסֶף.

27:17
This is the endowment valuation that must be paid if [the field] is consecrated [immediately after] the jubilee year.
Im-mishnat hayovel yakdish sadehu ke’erkecha yakum.
אִם-מִשְּׁנַת הַיֹּבֵל, יַקְדִּישׁ שָׂדֵהוּ–כְּעֶרְכְּךָ, יָקוּם.

27:18
However, if one consecrates his field later after the jubilee year, then the priest shall calculate the value on the basis of how many years remain until the [next] jubilee year, and its endowment value shall be reduced accordingly.
Ve’im-achar hayovel yakdish sadehu vechishav-lo hakohen et-hakesef al-pi hashanim hanotarot ad shnat hayovel venigra me’erkecha.
וְאִם-אַחַר הַיֹּבֵל, יַקְדִּישׁ שָׂדֵהוּ–וְחִשַּׁב-לוֹ הַכֹּהֵן אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף עַל-פִּי הַשָּׁנִים הַנּוֹתָרֹת, עַד שְׁנַת הַיֹּבֵל; וְנִגְרַע, מֵעֶרְכֶּךָ.

27:19
If [the person] who has consecrated his field redeems it, he must add 20% to its endowment valuation, and it then reverts to him.
Ve’im-ga’ol yig’al et-hasadeh hamakdish oto veyasaf chamishit kesef-erkecha alav vekam lo.
וְאִם-גָּאֹל יִגְאַל אֶת-הַשָּׂדֶה, הַמַּקְדִּישׁ אֹתוֹ: וְיָסַף חֲמִשִׁית כֶּסֶף-עֶרְכְּךָ, עָלָיו–וְקָם לוֹ.

27:20
However, if he does not redeem the field, or if [the sanctuary treasurer] sells it to someone else, it can no longer be redeemed.
Ve’im-lo yig’al et-hasadeh ve’im-machar et-hasadeh le’ish acher lo-yiga’el od.
וְאִם-לֹא יִגְאַל אֶת-הַשָּׂדֶה, וְאִם-מָכַר אֶת-הַשָּׂדֶה לְאִישׁ אַחֵר–לֹא יִגָּאֵל, עוֹד.

27:21
When the field is then released by the jubilee, it becomes consecrated to God, like a field that has been declared taboo, and it then becomes the hereditary property of the priest.
Vehayah hasadeh betseto vayovel kodesh l’Adonay kisdeh hacherem lakohen tihyeh achuzato.
וְהָיָה הַשָּׂדֶה בְּצֵאתוֹ בַיֹּבֵל, קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה–כִּשְׂדֵה הַחֵרֶם: לַכֹּהֵן, תִּהְיֶה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ.
