God’s Word Translation
Leviticus 27:16-25
16“If a person gives part of a field to the Lord as something holy, its value will be based on the seed planted on it. Ground planted with 2 quarts of barley will be worth 20 ounces of silver.
17If you give your field in the jubilee year, it will have its full value.
18But if you give the field after the jubilee year, the priest will estimate its value based on the number of years left until the next jubilee year.
19If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.
20But if you don’t buy it back and it is sold to someone else, you cannot buy it back.
21When the field is released in the jubilee year, it will be holy like a field claimed by the Lord. It will become the property of the priest.
22You may give a field you bought (not one that was a part of your family property) to the Lord as something holy.
23The priest must figure out the field’s value until the jubilee year. You will pay its value on that day as something holy, belonging to the Lord.
24In the jubilee year the field will go back to the person from whom it was bought, to whom it belongs as family property.
25“All values will be set using the standard weight of the holy place.
