Leviticus 27:19-27

19If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him.

20But if he does not redeem the field or if he has sold it to another man, it is no longer redeemable.

21When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will be holy to the Lord like a field permanently set apart; it becomes the priest’s property.

22“If a person consecrates to the Lord a field he has purchased that is not part of his inherited landholding,

23then the priest will calculate for him the amount of the assessment up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person will pay the assessed value on that day as a holy offering to the Lord.

24In the Year of Jubilee the field will return to the one he bought it from, the original owner.

25All your assessed values will be measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

26“But no one can consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, whether an animal from the herd or flock, to the Lord, because a firstborn already belongs to the Lord.

27If it is one of the unclean livestock, it can be ransomed according to your assessment by adding a fifth of its value to it. If it is not redeemed, it can be sold according to your assessment.
