Leviticus 27:16-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

16. And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.

17. If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.

18. But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.

19. And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.

20. And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:

21. For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.
