New Testament

Leviticus 27:17-21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

17. The person might give his field at the year of Jubilee. Then its value will be what the priest decides.

18. But he might give his field after the Jubilee. If he does, the priest must decide the exact price. He must count the number of years to the next year of Jubilee. Then he will use that number to decide the exact price.

19. The person who gave the field might want to buy it back. If he does, he must add one-fifth to that price. Then the field will belong to him again.

20. “‘If he does not buy back the field, it will always belong to the priest. If it is sold to someone else, the first person cannot buy it back.

21. But the person might not buy back the land. If he doesn’t, at the year of Jubilee, it will remain holy to the Lord. It will belong to the priest forever. It will become the property of the priests.
