¹⁷“ ‘Suppose he sets his field apart during the Year of Jubilee. Then the value that has been decided will not be changed. ¹⁸But suppose he sets his field apart after the Year of Jubilee. Then the priest will decide its value based on the number of years that are left until the next Year of Jubilee. The value that was decided will be reduced.

¹⁹“ ‘Suppose the man who sets his field apart wants to buy it back. Then he must add a fifth to its value. The field will belong to him again. ²⁰But suppose he does not buy the field back. Instead, suppose he sells it to someone else. Then he can never buy it back.

²¹“ ‘When the field is set free in the Year of Jubilee, it will become holy. It will be like a field that is set apart to me. It will become the property of the priests.

²²“ ‘Suppose a man sets apart to me a field he has bought. And suppose it is not part of his family’s land. ²³Then the priest will decide its value based on the number of years that are left until the Year of Jubilee. The man must pay that value on the day it is decided. The money is holy. It is set apart for me.

²⁴“ ‘In the Year of Jubilee the field will go back to the person the man bought it from. That person is the one who had owned the land before.
