Leviticus 27:14

12 and the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

13 ^aBut if he wants at all to redeem it, then he must add one-fifth to your valuation.

14 ‘And when a man¹ dedicates his house to be holy to the Lord, then the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

15 If he who dedicated it wants to¹ redeem his house, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

16 ‘If a man¹ 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.

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

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

19 And 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.

20 But 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;

21 but the field, ^awhen it is released in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the Lord, as a ^bdevoted field; it shall be ^cthe possession of the priest.
