    17If they dedicate their field during the Year of Jubilee, the valuation will stand as it is.

    18But if they dedicate their field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the value based on the number of years left until the next Jubilee, and a reduction will be made from the original valuation.

    19If the person who dedicated the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to the valuation price, and the field will be theirs again.

    20If they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can no longer be redeemed.

    21When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy to the LORD, like a field devoted to Him. It will belong to the priest as their possession.

    22If someone dedicates a field they purchased, one that is not part of their ancestral inheritance, to the LORD,

    23the priest will calculate its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person must pay the value on that day. It will be holy to the LORD.

    24In the Year of Jubilee, the field will return to the original owner from whom it was purchased, the one who holds it as their ancestral inheritance.

    25Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, where twenty gerahs make a shekel.

    26However, no one may dedicate the firstborn of their animals, because the firstborn already belongs to the LORD, whether it is an ox or a sheep.

    27If it is an unclean animal, it may be redeemed according to its valuation by adding a fifth of its value, or if not redeemed, it must be sold at its valuation.

    28Anything that is devoted to the LORD, whether a person, an animal, or a field from one's possession, cannot be sold or redeemed; everything devoted is most holy to the LORD.
