Exegesis
The coordinated verbs depict a chain: departure, complete liquidation (panta hosa echei {πάντα ὅσα ἔχει | pán-ta hó-sa é-khei}), and final purchase of the specific field marked by the demonstrative ton agron ekeinon {τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκεῖνον | tón á-gron e-keî-non}. The translation preserves the simile structure, the relative clause describing discovery, and the causal nuance of the joy phrase, while slightly smoothing word order to fit natural English flow.

In context — Matthew 13:44
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man, having found it, hid; and from his joy he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
