Contextual Overview

¹⁴Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it. ¹⁵But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him. ¹⁶If a man consecrates to the LORD a parcel of his land, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed required for it-fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed. ¹⁷If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your valuation. ¹⁸But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest is to calculate the price in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your valuation will be reduced. ¹⁹And if the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it shall belong to him. ²⁰If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed. ²¹When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it becomes the property of the priests. ²²Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property, ²³then the priest shall calculate for him the value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay the assessed value on that day as a sacred offering to the LORD.

Then prepare a tasty dish that I love and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you before I die."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all thy estimation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary,.... The shekel kept in the sanctuary, which was the standard of all shekels; not that there was a shekel in the sanctuary different from the common one; for every shekel ought to have been as that, of the full weight and worth of it; and the estimation was to be according to such a shekel, and the money paid in such, even in full weight:

twenty gerahs shall be the shekel; which the Targum of Jonathan calls "meahs" or "oboli", one of which was about three halfpence of our money, scarce so much, and weighed near eleven grains, as Bishop Cumberland i has calculated: see Ezekiel 45:12.
