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;

Leviticus 27:16-24
What we are talking about is that maybe the family, after devoting this ground to God to earn money to be contributed to God, let us say, in a charitable act, that after a number of years something they did not foresee occurred to them, and they went broke, bankrupt, or whatever. They got into a situation where they were not producing enough money, and God gave them that opportunity to buy it back from Him.
If the family got into a financial problem and they wanted the land back to produce income for the family, it cost them to get it back, but they have the advantage then of the remaining years before the Jubilee to earn money for the family.
