John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 27:21

When it goeth out — That is, out of the possession of the other man to whom the priest sold it. The possession shall be the priests — For their maintenance. Nor is this repugnant to that law, that the priests should have no inheritance in the land, Numbers 18:20, for that is only spoken of, the tribe of Levi in general, in reference to the first division of the land, wherein the Levites were not to have a distinct part of land, as other tribes had; but this doth not hinder, but some particular lands might be vowed and given to the priests, either for their own benefit, or for the service of the sanctuary.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Leviticus 27:21

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be (l) holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

(l) That is, who dedicate to the Lord with a curse to him that turns it to his private use, (Numbers 21:2; Deuteronomy 13:15; Joshua 9:17).
