Context of Leviticus 27:17
15If the one who consecrates it redeems his house, he must add to it one fifth of its conversion value in silver, and it will belong to him. 16“‘If a man consecrates to the Lord some of his own landed property, the conversion value must be calculated in accordance with the amount of seed needed to sow it, a homer of barley seed being priced at fifty shekels of silver. If he consecrates his field in the jubilee year, the conversion value will stand, 18but if he consecrates his field after the jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him according to the years that are left until the next jubilee year, and it will be deducted from the conversion value. 19If, however, the one who consecrated the field redeems it, he must add to it one fifth of the conversion price and it will belong to him.
