This site's exposition
sanctify his house to be holy
on Leviticus 27:14-21
A house is valued by the priest and bought back with a fifth added, and a field of a man's inheritance is valued by the seed it takes, an homer of barley seed at fifty shekels. The price is reckoned against the jubilee clock, standing full when the vow falls at the jubilee and abated by the years already spent. Verses 20 and 21 give the one route by which inherited land leaves a family for good, since a field left unredeemed becomes the priest's possession at the jubilee. Leviticus 25:13 sends every man back to his possession in that year, and here the same year takes a field away.

proposed
if a man shall sanctify unto the Lord some aprt of a field of his possession, &c.--In the case of acquired property in land, if not redeemed, it returned to the donor at the Jubilee; whereas the part of a hereditary estate, which had been vowed, did not revert to the owner, but remained attached in perpetuity to the sanctuary.
