As this verse appears to be the proper concluding verse of the whole book, Dr. A. Clarke thinks that the "And the LORDª spakeª° unto¹ Moses,ª saying,ª°" {Lev 27:1} originally followed "And the LORDª spakeª° unto¹ Mosesª in mountª Sinai,ª saying,ª°" {Lev 25:1}. Others suppose that the 27th chapter was added after the book was finished; and, therefore, there is apparently a double conclusion, one at the end of this, and another at the end of the 27th chapter. All the ancient versions agree in concluding both chapters in nearly the same way. |
