“Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.”
The priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person will pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord. The purchased field dedicated to the Lord is valued and paid in full on the day of the dedication, up to the Jubilee year. The immediate full payment communicates that the purchased field's dedication is a cash transaction rather than the use-right transfer of the ancestral inheritance dedication. The value goes to the Lord (and therefore to the priests) as a cash offering equivalent.
