"Pero si alguna vez él lo quiere redimir, él añadirá la quinta parte a tu valuación.
Y si lo hubieren de redimir, añadirán su quinto sobre tu valuación.
Y si lo hubieren de redimir, añadirán su quinto sobre tu estimación.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But if he will at all redeem it,.... The owner of it, or he that has devoted it, if he is determined to have it again at any rate:
then he shall add a fifth [part] thereof unto thy estimation; he shall give the full price for it, as rated by the priest, and for which it might be sold to another man, and a fifth part of the value of it besides; this was done that the full price might be paid for it, the priest not knowing, as it might be, the worth of it so well as the owner; and that the value of consecrated things might be kept to, and to make men careful how and what they devoted, since, though redeemable, they were obliged to pay a large price for them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 27:13. Shall add a fifth part] This was probably intended to prevent rash vows and covetous redemptions. The priest alone was to value the thing; and to whatever his valuation was, a fifth part must be added by him who wished to redeem the consecrated thing. Thus, if the priest valued it at forty shekels, if the former owner redeemed it he was obliged to give forty-eight.
