Context of Leviticus 27:22

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. A 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.
