Leviticus 27:16-24
16IfH518 a manH376 consecratesH6942 to the LORDH3068 a parcelH7704 of his landH272, then your valuationH6187 shall beH1961 proportionalH6310 to the seed required for itH2233—fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701 for every homerH2563 of barleyH8184 seedH2233.1 17IfH518 he consecratesH6942 his fieldH7704 during the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104, the price will standH6965 according to your valuationH6187.
18But ifH518 he consecratesH6942 his fieldH7704 afterH310 the JubileeH3104, the priestH3548 is to calculateH2803 the priceH3701 in proportion toH5921H6310 the yearsH8141 leftH3498 untilH5704 the next YearH8141 of JubileeH3104, so that your valuationH6187 will be reducedH1639. 19And ifH518 the one who consecratedH6942 the fieldH7704 decides to redeem itH1350, he must addH3254 a fifthH2549 toH5921 the assessedH6187 valueH3701, and it shall belongH6965 to him.
20If, howeverH518, he does notH3808 redeemH1350 the fieldH7704, or ifH518 he has soldH4376 itH7704 to anotherH312 manH376, it may noH3808 longerH5750 be redeemedH1350. 21When the fieldH7704 is releasedH3318 in the JubileeH3104, it will becomeH1961 holyH6944, like a fieldH7704 devotedH2764 to the LORDH3068; it becomesH1961 the propertyH272 of the priestsH3548.
22Now ifH518 a man consecratesH6942 to the LORDH3068 a fieldH7704 he has purchasedH4736, whichH834 is notH3808 a partH7704 of his own propertyH272, 23then the priestH3548 shall calculateH2803 for him the valueH4373H6187 up toH5704 the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104, and the man shall payH5414 the assessed valueH6187 on thatH1931 dayH3117 as a sacred offeringH6944 to the LORDH3068. 24In the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104 the fieldH7704 shall returnH7725 to the one from whomH834 it was boughtH7069H854—the original ownerH272 of the landH776.
