Context of Leviticus 27:15

13But if he ever wishes to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation. 14‘If a man consecrates his house as sacred to the Lord, the priest shall appraise it as either good or bad; as the priest appraises it, so shall it stand. If the one who consecrates his house should wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his. 16‘And if a man consecrates to the Lord part of a field of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it; a homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand according to your valuation.
