“ ‘If a person gives a house as holy to the LORD, the priest must decide its value, according to whether the house is good or bad; as the priest decides, that is the price for the house. But if the person who gives the house wants to buy it back, an additional one-fifth must be added to the price. Then the house will belong to that person again. “ ‘If a person gives some family property to the LORD, the value of the fields will depend on how much seed is needed to plant them. It will cost about one and one-fourth pounds of silver for each six bushels of barley seed needed. If the person gives a field at the year of Jubilee, its value will stay at what the priest has decided. But if the person gives the field after the Jubilee, the priest must decide the exact price by counting the number of years to the next year of Jubilee. Then he will subtract that number from its value. If the person who gave the field wants to buy it back, one-fifth must be added to that price, and the field will belong to the first owner again. “ ‘If the person does not buy back the field, or if it is sold to someone else, the first person cannot ever buy it back. When the land is released at the year of Jubilee, it will become holy to the LORD, like land specially given to him. It will become the property of the priests. “ ‘If someone gives to the LORD a field he has bought, which is not a part of his family land, the priest must count the years to the next Jubilee. He must decide the price for the land, and the price must be paid on that day. Then that land will be holy to the LORD. At the year of Jubilee, the land will go back to its first owner, to the family who sold the land. “ ‘You must use the measure as set by the Holy Place in paying these prices; it weighs two-fifths of an ounce.
