Commentary for Kiddushin 40:17
מקדיש שהורע כחו שאם הגיע יובל ולא נגאלה יוצאה לכהנים ביובל יפה כחו שלוה וגואל וגואל לחצאין
Do we learn the meaning of 'his redemption' from a 'field of possession':<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' An inherited field: v. p. 95, n. 5; a house in a walled city, ibid. 29: for a full year shall be his redemption (E.V. shall he have the right of redemption) .');"><sup>24</sup></span> just as 'a field of possession cannot be half redeemed, so this too cannot be half redeemed; or perhaps, where [Scripture] revealed it,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the whole must be redeemed.');"><sup>25</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
One who dedicates a field to the Temple, loses the field permanently at the Jubilee if he does not redeem it before then. Therefore, since he has more to lose, he may borrow and redeem, or redeem just a half.
