This is so that the Israelites will bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing in the open field to the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent to the priest and sacrifice them there as peace offering sacrifices to the Lord.

"'When you gather in the harvest of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest.

You must keep my statutes. You must not allow two different kinds of your animals to breed, you must not sow your field with two different kinds of seed, and you must not wear a garment made of two different kinds of fabric.

When you gather in the harvest of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.'"

Six years you may sow your field, and six years you may prune your vineyard and gather the produce,

but in the seventh year the land must have a Sabbath of complete rest -- a Sabbath to the Lord. You must not sow your field or prune your vineyard.

Because that year is a jubilee, it will be holy to you -- you may eat its produce from the field.

The houses of villages, however, which have no wall surrounding them must be considered as the field of the land; they will have the right of redemption and must revert in the jubilee.

Moreover, the open field areas of their cities must not be sold, because that is their perpetual possession.

I will give you your rains in their time so that the land will give its yield and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.

If he consecrates his field in the jubilee year, the conversion value will stand,

but if he consecrates his field after the jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him according to the years that are left until the next jubilee year, and it will be deducted from the conversion value.

If, however, the one who consecrated the field redeems it, he must add to it one fifth of the conversion price and it will belong to him.

If he does not redeem the field, but sells the field to someone else, he may never redeem it.

When it reverts in the jubilee, the field will be holy to the Lord like a permanently dedicated field; it will become the priest's property.

"'If he consecrates to the Lord a field he has purchased, which is not part of his own landed property,

In the jubilee year the field will return to the one from whom he bought it, the one to whom it belongs as landed property.
