Instruction as to what is to be done where an offering has been made to the Lord and the give3r wants to redeem it; also a regulation about tithes.
What can be redeemed and what cannot be redeemed? What does this teach us about the seriousness of vows made to God? Is there any exception to the statement inverse 29? Cf. Ps 49:7-9; Mark 10:45. Answer: The only thing, and I am probably missing something, that I see that can’t be redeemed is those items not redeemed by the following Year of Jubilee. The only exception to verse 29 would be those who God chooses to soften his heart and bring him closer to God, thereby saving him (kind of going back to the doctrine of election, very interesting doctrine by the way).
What does this chapter show of the Lord’s character? What does he require in His people? Answer: I think this chapter shows that God gives us and gives us room to make errors and be forgiven, but there is always a point from which we can no longer be forgiven. God is a loving God who wants our obedience, if we can not give that then we will not be part of the chosen in the end.
