“But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.”
But if they dedicate their field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced. The post-Jubilee field dedication receives a reduced valuation based on the remaining years until the next Jubilee. The Jubilee-adjusted valuation communicates that the dedicated field's value is the value of its remaining years of use, not its full permanent value. The land dedication to God is as Jubilee-adjusted as any land sale.
