Leviticus 27:16-25

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.

18But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price for him in proportion to the years that remain until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

19If the one who consecrates the field should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the appraisal price to it, so that it may return to him.

20If he does not redeem the field, but has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.

21When the field reverts in the Jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart (devoted); the priest shall possess it as his property.

22Or if a man consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not part of the field of his [ancestral] property,

23then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and the man shall give that [amount] on that day as a holy thing to the Lord.

24In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was purchased, to whom the land belonged [as his ancestral inheritance].

25Every valuation of yours shall be in accordance with the sanctuary shekel; twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.
