Leviticus 27:22

20 If, however, he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it may no longer be redeemed.

21 When 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.

Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property,

23 then 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.

24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought—the original owner of the land.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
