“And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.”
If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. The redemption of the dedicated field — valuation plus twenty percent — returns the field to the original family. The consistent redemption formula (original valuation plus a fifth) applies to the field as to the house and the unclean animal. The covenant's redemption system is internally consistent across the different categories of dedicated property.
