Quick answer
If a field was dedicated in the Year of Jubilee, the full valuation applied. The Jubilee cycle was the framework for measuring all land vows.
Overview
The fifty-year Jubilee, when land reverted to its original family, governed how dedicated fields were valued. Dedicating a field right at the Jubilee meant the full term until the next Jubilee, so the full price stood. This careful tying of worth to time guarded the land-inheritance God had given each family and kept vows honest.
