Context of Leviticus 27:22
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. You 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.
