Redemption of vowed houses and fields
Origen is explaining the rules in Leviticus for redeeming a house or field that someone has vowed to God, including the added fifth and the reversion of purchased fields at the Jubilee.
If the person who sanctified it redeems his house, he will add a fifth of the silver of the treasury to it, and it will be his. But if someone sanctifies not the value of a house or field but the things themselves to God, he will pay down the value with the fifth when redeeming them, and he will keep the properties; he will not give them back to others. But even if he does give them back, the buyer will keep them until the Jubilee, and after that they will be God's.
If it is from the field.
But the one who buys a field that was purchased cannot recover it for himself; rather, after paying the produce to God according to the reckoning, at the Jubilee he will restore the field to the one who sold it.

Στίχ. ιε΄. Ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ἁγιάσας αὐτὴν λυτρῶται τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, προσθήσει ἐπʼ αὐτὸ τὸ ἐπίπεμπτον τοῦ ἀργυρίου τῆς ταμῆς, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ. Εἰ δὲ μὴ τιμὴν οἰκίας, ἢ ἀγροῦ τις, ἀλλʼ αὐτὰ ἁγιάσαι Θεῷ, τὴν τιμὴν καθήσει μετὰ τοῦ πέμπτου λυτρούμενος αὐτὰ, καὶ|καθέξει τὰς κτήσεις· ἑτέροις δὲ οὐκ ἀποδώσεται. Ἀλλὰ κἂν ἀποδῶται, μέχρι τοῦ Ἰωβηλαίου καθέξει ὁ πριάμενος, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτον ἔσται Θεοῦ.
Στίχ. ις΄. Ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγροῦ.
Τὸν δὲ ἐξ ἀγορασίας ἀγρὸν ἀγοράσας, οὐκ ἀνακτήσεται τοῦτον ἑαυτῷ· ἀλλὰ πρὸς λόγον ἀποδοὺς τὸν καρπὸν τῷ Θεῷ, ἐν τῷ Ἰωβὴλ ἀποκαταστήσεται τὸν ἀγρὸν τῷ πεπρακότι.
