וְאִם֙ אֶת־שְׂדֵ֣ה מִקְנָת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֕ר לֹ֖א מִשְּׂדֵ֣ה אֲחֻזָּת֑וֹ יַקְדִּ֖ישׁ לַֽיהוָֽה׃

And if he consecrates to the Lord a field of his acquisition, a field that he purchased from another, that is not a field of his ancestral portion. He does not have full ownership of this field, but merely the right of usage for fifty years at the most.

וְחִשַּׁב־ל֣וֹ הַכֹּהֵ֗ן אֵ֚ת מִכְסַ֣ת הָֽעֶרְכְּךָ֔ עַ֖ד שְׁנַ֣ת הַיֹּבֵ֑ל וְנָתַ֤ן אֶת־הָעֶרְכְּךָ֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא קֹ֖דֶשׁ לַיהוָֽה׃

Consequently, the priest shall calculate for him the sum of the valuation until the Jubilee Year, the valuation in accordance with the number of years remaining until the Jubilee, and he shall give the valuation as of that day on which he comes to redeem it. The field shall thereby return to the possession of the redeemer, and it , the payment, is sacred to the Lord. No payment of an additional fifth is mentioned here, as the current owner is considered like a stranger with regard to this purchased field. The Sages disagree whether an acquired field is redeemed by its actual sale value, or in accordance with the fixed value established in verse 16 for an ancestral field.

בִּשְׁנַ֤ת הַיּוֹבֵל֙ יָשׁ֣וּב הַשָּׂדֶ֔ה לַאֲשֶׁ֥ר קָנָ֖הוּ מֵאִתּ֑וֹ לַאֲשֶׁר־ל֖וֹ אֲחֻזַּ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

In the Jubilee Year, the field shall return to the one from whom he acquired it, the original seller, to the one whose ancestral portion of the land it is. The person who consecrated it did not have the right to permanently dedicate a field that did not belong to him. To summarize, in all cases the fields return to their original owners in the Jubilee Year, apart from an ancestral field that was consecrated and not redeemed.

וְכָל־עֶרְכְּךָ֔ יִהְיֶ֖ה בְּשֶׁ֣קֶל הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ עֶשְׂרִ֥ים גֵּרָ֖ה יִהְיֶ֥ה הַשָּֽׁקֶל׃ (ס)

Every payment of valuation discussed above shall be in the sacred shekel; twenty gera shall be the value of the shekel. These gera are called maot in the terminology of the Sages. Although there were smaller units of weight and coins, the ma’a was the basic silver coin, ten of which were worth a regular shekel, while twenty were worth the holy shekel, which was double in size.

אַךְ־בְּכ֞וֹר אֲשֶׁר־יְבֻכַּ֤ר לַֽיהוָה֙ בִּבְהֵמָ֔ה לֹֽא־יַקְדִּ֥ישׁ אִ֖ישׁ אֹת֑וֹ אִם־שׁ֣וֹר אִם־שֶׂ֔ה לַֽיהוָ֖ה הֽוּא׃

Pursuant to the discussion of consecration and redemption, the Torah presents a related law: However, with regard to a male firstborn that is born first to the Lord, from an animal, no man shall consecrate it, since it is not anyone’s property; whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the Lord’s, and must be brought as an offering.

וְאִ֨ם בַּבְּהֵמָ֤ה הַטְּמֵאָה֙ וּפָדָ֣ה בְעֶרְכֶּ֔ךָ וְיָסַ֥ף חֲמִשִׁת֖וֹ עָלָ֑יו וְאִם־לֹ֥א יִגָּאֵ֖ל וְנִמְכַּ֥ר בְּעֶרְכֶּֽךָ׃

And if it, the firstborn animal, is a non-pure beast, which cannot be brought as an offering, he, the owner, shall redeem it according to the valuation, by paying the animal’s worth, and he shall add one additional fifth of it to it, as one always must when redeeming consecrated items. And if it is not redeemed by the owner, it shall be sold for the valuation. Unlike pure animals, impure animals cannot be consecrated in and of themselves as offerings. Only their value is consecrated, and therefore the animal itself can be redeemed by paying its value to the Temple. In practice, among all impure animals, only the firstborn of a donkey must be redeemed. As mentioned elsewhere in the Torah, it is redeemed in exchange for a sheep, or for silver or other objects equal in value to itself.

אַךְ־כָּל־חֵ֡רֶם אֲשֶׁ֣ר יַחֲרִם֩ אִ֨ישׁ לַֽיהוָ֜ה מִכָּל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֗וֹ מֵאָדָ֤ם וּבְהֵמָה֙ וּמִשְּׂדֵ֣ה אֲחֻזָּת֔וֹ לֹ֥א יִמָּכֵ֖ר וְלֹ֣א יִגָּאֵ֑ל כָּל־חֵ֕רֶם קֹֽדֶשׁ־קָֽדָשִׁ֥ים ה֖וּא לַיהוָֽה׃

However, in contrast to consecrated objects, which may be redeemed or sold, anything proscribed that a man proscribes for the Lord from all that is his, whether man, e.g., one of his slaves, or animal, or the field of his ancestral portion, which is in the absolute possession of its owner, shall not be sold and shall not be redeemed; anything proscribed is a sacred sacrament to the Lord.
