Leviticus 27:16-24

16A person might give part of his land to the Lord. The person will decide the price by how much seed the land needs. The price will be 50 pieces of silver for a homer (220 litres) of seed.

17If a person gives his land in a Jubilee year, the price is the same.

18A person might give his land after the Jubilee year. The priest will count the number of years before the next Jubilee. The price will be less.

19A person might want to buy the land back. He must pay the price of the land and one fifth more.

20He may not buy it back before the year of Jubilee. Then the field becomes holy. But the man may have sold the land to another person. If he has, he cannot get it back.

21In the Jubilee year the land will become holy. Then it will belong to the priests.

22A person might buy some land from another family. He might give that land to the Lord.

23The priest will count how many years there are until the Jubilee year. The person must pay the money on that day. The money is holy to the Lord.

24In the Jubilee year, the land returns to the family from whom he bought it.
