Leviticus 27:16-24

16‘If a man dedicates to the Lord part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

18But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money due according to the years that remain till the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

19And if he who dedicates the field ever wishes to redeem it, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall belong to him.

20But if he does not want to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore;

21but the field, when it is released in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the Lord, as a devoted field; it shall be the possession of the priest.

22‘And if a man dedicates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not the field of his possession,

23then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation, up to the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day as a holy offering to the Lord.

24In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to the one who owned the land as a possession.
