Leviticus 27:21

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.
19

And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

20

And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

22

And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

23

Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.

Christ as High Priest

This verse describes a specific regulation concerning the ownership of land in ancient Israel, specifically how a field dedicated to the Lord during the Jubilee becomes the possession of the Levitical priest. It makes no mention of a high priest, mediation, sacrifice, or any figure that could be interpreted as Christ, nor does it contain any language suggesting a fulfillment or transcendence of the Levitical system.

Land Sabbath / Rest for the Earth

This verse focuses on the transfer of ownership of a field to the priests during the Jubilee, rather than explicitly commanding the land to rest or describing a fallow period. While it mentions the Jubilee, it doesn't detail the land's rest within that context.
