'Property' in the Bible
But if a priest buys a slave as his property with his money, that one may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his food.
You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
‘On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property.
Thus for every piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.
‘If a fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor he has to sell part of his property, then his nearest kinsman is to come and buy back what his relative has sold.
then he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his property.
But if he has not found sufficient means to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hands of its purchaser until the year of jubilee; but at the jubilee it shall revert, that he may return to his property.
He shall then go out from you, he and his sons with him, and shall go back to his family, that he may return to the property of his forefathers.
‘Again, if a man consecrates to the Lord part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.
and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart; it shall be for the priest as his property.
Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,
‘Nevertheless, anything which a man sets apart to the Lord out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction is most holy to the Lord.
