Leviticus 27:16-25

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ A person might give part of his land to the Lord. The person will decide the price by how much seed the land needs. The price will be 50 pieces of silver for a homer (220 litres) of seed. ¹⁷ If a person gives his land in a Jubilee year, the price is the same. ¹⁸ A person might give his land after the Jubilee year. The priest will count the number of years before the next Jubilee. The price will be less. ¹⁹ A person might want to buy the land back. He must pay the price of the land and one fifth more. ²⁰ He may not buy it back before the year of Jubilee. Then the field becomes holy. But the man may have sold the land to another person. If he has, he cannot get it back. ²¹ In the Jubilee year the land will become holy. Then it will belong to the priests.

²² A person might buy some land from another family. He might give that land to the Lord. ²³ The priest will count how many years there are until the Jubilee year. The person must pay the money on that day. The money is holy to the Lord. ²⁴ In the Jubilee year, the land returns to the family from whom he bought it. ²⁵ The priest must decide the price of the land. He must use the correct measures.
