"If a man dedicates to God a field he has bought, a field which is not part of the family land, the priest will compute its proportionate value in relation to the next year of Jubilee. The man must pay its value on the spot as something that is now holy to God , belonging to the Sanctuary. In the year of Jubilee it goes back to its original owner, the man from whom he bought it. The valuations will be reckoned by the Sanctuary shekel, at twenty gerahs to the shekel.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
'Or if he consecrates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,

Contextual Overview

14 ‘When a man sets apart his house as holy to the Lord, the religious leader will decide if it is good or bad. Whatever price the religious leader puts on it, so it will be. 15 If the man who sets it apart wants to buy his house again, he will add one-fifth part to your price. Then it will be his. 16 ‘If a man sets apart to the Lord part of a field he owns, you will decide upon its price by the seed needed for it. Ten baskets of barley seed will be worth fifty pieces of silver. 17 If he sets apart his field during the Year of Jubilee, it will be worth your full price. 18 But if he sets apart his field after the Year of Jubilee, the religious leader will decide upon its worth by the years left until the next Year of Jubilee. It will be taken off your price. 19 If the man who sets it apart wants to buy his field again, he will add one-fifth part to your price. Then it will be his. 20 But if he does not want to buy the field again, or has sold the field to another man, it cannot be bought again. 21 And when the field becomes free in the Jubilee, it will be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart. It will belong to the religious leader. 22 If a man sets apart to the Lord a field he has bought, which is not a part of the land he was given by his father, 23 the religious leader will decide its worth until the Year of Jubilee. The man will pay that amount on that day as holy to the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if [a man] sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought,.... With his own money, of some person in poverty and distress, who was obliged to sell it, and which, according to a former law, returned to the original proprietor in the year of jubilee:

which [is] not of the fields of his possession; which he has not by inheritance from his fathers. Jarchi observes, there is a difference between a field bought, and a field possessed; for a field bought is not divided to the priests in the year of jubilee, because a man cannot sanctify it but until the year of jubilee; for in the year of jubilee it would go out of his hands, and return to the owner; wherefore if he comes to redeem it, he must redeem it with the price fixed for the field of possession: the Jewish doctors are divided about a field bought of a father by a son, whether it is a field of purchase or of possession f.
