Leviticus 27:19-27

19And ifH518 the one who consecratedH6942 the fieldH7704 decides to redeem itH1350, he must addH3254 a fifthH2549 toH5921 the assessedH6187 valueH3701, and it shall belongH6965 to him.

20If, howeverH518, he does notH3808 redeemH1350 the fieldH7704, or ifH518 he has soldH4376 itH7704 to anotherH312 manH376, it may noH3808 longerH5750 be redeemedH1350. 21When the fieldH7704 is releasedH3318 in the JubileeH3104, it will becomeH1961 holyH6944, like a fieldH7704 devotedH2764 to the LORDH3068; it becomesH1961 the propertyH272 of the priestsH3548.

22Now ifH518 a man consecratesH6942 to the LORDH3068 a fieldH7704 he has purchasedH4736, whichH834 is notH3808 a partH7704 of his own propertyH272, 23then the priestH3548 shall calculateH2803 for him the valueH4373H6187 up toH5704 the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104, and the man shall payH5414 the assessed valueH6187 on thatH1931 dayH3117 as a sacred offeringH6944 to the LORDH3068. 24In the YearH8141 of JubileeH3104 the fieldH7704 shall returnH7725 to the one from whomH834 it was boughtH7069H854—the original ownerH272 of the landH776. 25EveryH3605 valuationH6187 will beH1961 according to the sanctuaryH6944 shekelH8255, twentyH6242 gerahsH1626H1961 to the shekelH8255.1

26ButH389 noH3808 oneH376 may consecrateH6942 a firstbornH1060 of the livestockH929, becauseH834 a firstbornH1069 belongs to the LORDH3068. WhetherH518 it is an oxH7794 orH518 a sheepH7716, itH1931 is the LORD’sH3068. 27But ifH518 it is among the uncleanH2931 animalsH929, then he may redeemH6299 it according to your valuationH6187 and addH3254 a fifthH2549 of its valueH5921. IfH518 it is notH3808 redeemedH1350, then it shall be soldH4376 according to your valuationH6187.
