Leviticus 27:24

22 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.

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

25 Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

26 But no one may consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, because a firstborn belongs to the LORD. Whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.

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.
