‘Again, if a man consecrates to the Lord part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be ^[f]proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for ^[g]him ^[h]proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

If the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him.

Yet if he will not redeem the field, ^[i]but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

and when it ^[j]reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord , like a field ^[k]set apart; ^(f)it shall be for the priest as his ^[l]property.

Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own ^[m]property,

then the priest shall calculate for ^[n]him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to the Lord .

In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.
