He gives fifty Selah if the person being valuated is between the ages of twenty and sixty.

בית זרע חומר שעורים בחמשים שקל כסף (see Leviticus 27:16: “[If anyone consecrates to the LORD any land that he holds,] its assessment shall be in accordance with its seed requirement: fifty shekels of silver to a HOMER of barley seed.”) If it is the beginning of the Jubilee cycle. But if not, he deducts from the years that have passed a Selah and a Pundiyon (i.e. 16 Perutah or 2 Issar) per year. [For every part of a field that suffices for] the vowing of a HOMER of barley, a place that is appropriate for sowing a KOR, that is thirty SEAH of barley, and it is larger than the place of sowing a KOR of wheat. But the person who dedicates the field of possession that is filled with trees, when he redeems them , he deems the trees at their worth, and then returns and redeems the land, its assessment shall be in accordance with its seed requirement: fifty shekels of silver to a HOMER of barley seed.

**וּבִשְׂדֵה מִקְנָה נוֹתֵן אֶת שָׁוְיוֹ.** דְּבִשְׂדֵה מִקְנָה כְתִיב (ויקרא כז) וְחִשַּׁב לוֹ הַכֹּהֵן אֶת מִכְסַת הָעֶרְכְּךָ, וְאֵין מִכְסַת אֶלָּא מִנְיַן דָּמִים, דְּהַיְנוּ כְפִי מַה שֶּׁהוּא שָׁוֶה, וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר (במדבר לא) וַהֲרֵמֹתָ מֶכֶס:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ובשדה מקנה נותן את שויו – for in a field which he has bought, it is written (Leviticus 27:23): “The priest shall compute for him the proportionate assessment [up to the jubilee year, and he shall pay the assessment as of that day,” but the proportionate assessment is not other than the number of coins, which are according to what it is worth, and similar, it (i.e., the Torah) states (Numbers 31:28): “You shall exact a levy [for the LORD: in the case of the warriors who engaged in the campaign, one item in five hundred, of persons, oxen, asses, and sheep].”

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אחד שדה אחוזה ואחד שדה מקנה – for it is stated [in the Torah] regarding the ancestral field/field of possession (Leviticus 27:18): “the priest shall compute,” and regarding the acquired field it is stated (Leviticus 27:23): “the priest shall compute for him [the proportionate assessment up to the jubilee year],” just as regarding an ancestral field it is a fixed amount, so also, it is a fixed amount for an acquired field, “which is fifty shekels of silver [for every part of a field that suffices for] the sowing of a HOMER of barley” (see Leviticus 27:16 -and Tractate Arakhin, Chapter 7, Mishnah 1).

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ובשדה מקנה אינו נותן חומש – that regarding an acquired field, it is written (Leviticus 27:23): “[the priest shall compute for him] the proportionate assessment [up to the jubilee year],” Scripture makes an analogy to valuation/Arakhin, just as regarding valuation, one does not include an added fifth, even with regard to an acquired field, one does not add a fifth. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.
