Leviticus 27:19-27

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.

25The priest must decide the price of the land. He must use the correct measures.

26The first baby that an animal has is holy. It belongs to the Lord. A person cannot give it as a special gift to the Lord.

27The animal might be an unclean animal (an animal that they must not eat). The person can pay the price of the animal and one fifth more to get it back. If the person does not buy it back, the priest will sell it.
