הלכה על ערכין 47:27

And since the matter of arranging [this debt] has come to our hand, we shall write here that which they, may their memory be blessed, said about a [general] debtor in the chapter [entitled] HaMekabel Sadeh Mechavero in Bava Metzia 113b: That there we say, "A teacher taught in front of Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak, 'In the [same] way that we arrange things with appraisals, so do we arrange things with a debtor.'" And they brought many challenges and solutions and the end of the matter is that which the Gemara brings, "A story of Eliyahu, who Rabbah bar Avoua found standing in a graveyard of gentiles. He said to him, 'What is [the law] about their arranging things for a debtor?'" And Rashi, may his memory be blessed, and others had a textual variant [instead], "From where [do we know] about their arranging things for a debtor?" [This is] meaning to say, it was obvious to Rabbah bar Avoua that we arrange [things for a debtor], but he was asking Eliyahu, from which verse we learn it. "And Eliyahu answered him, 'That this is how we learn it, "destitution, destitution," from appraisals.'" [This is] meaning to say that it is written about a loan (Leviticus 25:35), "And if your brother becomes destitute and his hand falters with you, you shall strengthen him" - which is a loan, as it is written at its end (Leviticus 25:35), "Do not take from him interest or increase, etc."; and it is written about appraisals (Leviticus 27:8), "And if he is destitute from [paying] the appraisal" - and the received tradition (Arakhin 24a) comes [that its understanding is], revive him from his appraisal.

And the law of one who consecrates his purchased field - that we estimate it worth - is [that] we see how much it is worth until the Jubilee year. And if the consecrator redeems it, he does not add a fifth onto it. And its redemption is for the upkeep of the [Temple], like other appraisals and values (Arakhin 24a). And when the Jubilee arrives, the field goes back to its [original] owners who sold it. Whether it was redeemed from the treasurer by any man and it goes out [now] from under his hand, or whether it was not redeemed and it goes out from the hand of the consecrated - it always returns to the one for which it is a holding in the Land. And it does not go out to the priests because a man cannot consecrate something that is not his, and this land was the purchaser's only until the Jubilee year. And this is not the case for a field of holding: As if the Jubilee arrived and the owners did not redeem it from the hand of the consecrated or from the hand of another who acquired it from the consecrated, the priests give its value - since the consecrated only goes out with redemption - and it is a holding for them forever. And those monies go to the consecrated for the upkeep of the [Temple]. And any field that we estimate for the consecrated, to sell it for its value, we announce sixty days - morning and evening, which is the time that the workers come in from their work and go out - so that all will hear about the thing. And we demarcate its borders and say, "Its quality is such and [price] x is its estimation." And whoever wants to buy comes and buys (Arakhin 21b). And the rest of its details are elucidated in the tractate that is built on this, and that is Tractate Arakhin.
