Contextual Overview

¹⁴ And, when, any man, would hallow his house to be holy unto Yahweh, then shall the priest estimate it, whether it is good or bad, - as the priest shall estimate it, so, shall it stand. ¹⁵ But, if he that halloweth it, would redeem his house, then shall he add the fifth part of the silver of thine estimate thereunto and it shall be his. ¹⁶ And if of the field of his possession any man would hallow unto Yahweh, then shall thine estimate be according to the seed thereof, - the seed of a homer of barley, at fifty shekels of silver. ¹⁷ If, from the year of jubilee, he would hallow his field, according to thine estimate, shall it stand. ¹⁸ But if after the jubilee he would hallow his field, then shall the priest reckon to him the silver, according to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee, - and it shall be abated from thine estimate. ¹⁹ But, if he that hath hallowed it should be pleased to redeem, the field, then shall he add the fifth part of the silver of thine estimate thereunto and it shall be assured to him. ²⁰ But if he will not redeem the field, but have sold the field to another man, it shall be redeemable no longer; ²¹ so shall the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, be holy unto Yahweh as a devoted, field, - to the priest, shall belong the possession thereof. ²² If, however, a field that he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, he would hallow unto Yahweh, ²³ then shall the priest reckon to him the amount of thine estimate until the year of the jubilee, - and he shall give thine estimate, in that day, as holy unto Yahweh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all thy estimation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary,.... The shekel kept in the sanctuary, which was the standard of all shekels; not that there was a shekel in the sanctuary different from the common one; for every shekel ought to have been as that, of the full weight and worth of it; and the estimation was to be according to such a shekel, and the money paid in such, even in full weight:

twenty gerahs shall be the shekel; which the Targum of Jonathan calls "meahs" or "oboli", one of which was about three halfpence of our money, scarce so much, and weighed near eleven grains, as Bishop Cumberland i has calculated: see Ezekiel 45:12.
