27:16-21 The price for dedicating a field was determined by the number of years remaining until the next Year of Jubilee (see 25:24-28). If this property was not redeemed, it became the property of the priests to do with as they wished. The price of redeeming a field was 120 percent of the valuation (see 27:11-13). If a landowner dedicated his field without redeeming it, it did not revert to his family in the Year of Jubilee.
