Leviticus 27:16-18
New English Translation
Redemption of Fields Given as Votive Offerings
16 “‘If a man consecrates to the Lord some of his own landed property, the conversion value must be calculated in accordance with the amount of seed needed to sow it,[a] a homer of barley seed being priced at fifty shekels of silver.[b] 17 If he consecrates his field in the Jubilee year,[c] the conversion value will stand, 18 but if[d] he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the price[e] for him according to the years that are left until the next Jubilee year, and it will be deducted from the conversion value.

New International Version
16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver to a homer[a] of barley seed. 17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains. 18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee,(A) the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain(B) until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced.
