16. If someone dedicates to the Lord a portion of hereditary land, its valuation shall be made according to the amount of seed required to sow it, the acreage sown with a homer of barley seed being valued at fifty silver shekels.
17. If the dedication of a field is made at the beginning of a jubilee period, the full valuation shall hold;
18. but if it is some time after this, the priest shall estimate its money value according to the number of years left until the next jubilee year, with a corresponding reduction on the valuation.
19. A person dedicating a field who then wishes to redeem it shall pay one fifth more than the price thus established, and so reclaim it.
20. If, instead of redeeming such a field, one sells it to another, it may no longer be redeemed;
21. but at the jubilee it shall be released as sacred to the Lord; like a field that is put under the ban, it shall become priestly property.
