22But if he consecrates to Yahweh a field of his purchase, which is not from the field of his inherited property,

23then the priest shall calculate for him the proportion of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and on that day he shall give your valuation as a holy offering to Yahweh.

24In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought, to the one to whom the possession of the land belongs.

25And every valuation of yours shall be by the sanctuary shekel; the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
