Leviticus 27:18

18 But if you give the field after the jubilee year, the priest will estimate its value based on the number of years left until the next jubilee year.

Leviticus 27:18 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:18

But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee
Some years after it, more or fewer, or it may be, when half way towards another jubilee, or nearer:

then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years
that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee;
thus, for instance, if it only required an homer of barley to sow it, and the whole value of it from jubilee to jubilee was but fifty shekels of silver; then supposing it to be sanctified in the middle of the fifty years, or at twenty five years' end, it was to be reckoned at twenty five shekels, and sold for that money, and so in proportion, reckoning a shekel for a year:

and it shall be abated from thy estimation;
not the year of jubilee, but a shekel for every year was to be deducted from the original value of fifty shekels, according to the number of years that had passed or were to come.

Leviticus 27:18 In-Context

16 "If a person gives part of a field to the LORD as something holy, its value will be based on the seed planted on it. Ground planted with 2 quarts of barley will be worth 20 ounces of silver.

17 If you give your field in the jubilee year, it will have its full value.

18 But if you give the field after the jubilee year, the priest will estimate its value based on the number of years left until the next jubilee year.

19 If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.

20 But if you don't buy it back and it is sold to someone else, you cannot buy it back.
