Leviticus 27:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 but when the field is released in the Jubilee Year, it shall be holy to the Lord. It will be treated like a priest’s field, and it shall be their property.
22 “If a man sets apart a field that he bought, a field that is not his family’s inheritance, dedicating it[a] to the Lord, 23 then the priest shall make an estimation of its value from then until the Jubilee Year, and the man shall pay the estimation that day as something holy to the Lord.
