Context of Leviticus 27:25

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. “All values will be set using the standard weight of the holy place. 26“A firstborn animal already belongs to the Lord because it was born first. Therefore, it cannot be set apart as holy. Whether it is a bull or a sheep, it belongs to the Lord. 27But if it is an unclean animal, it must be bought back. The payment will be its full value plus one-fifth more. If it is not bought back, it must be sold at the value given it.
