Leviticus 27:14-34

14“When a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, the priest will assess its value, whether high or low. The price will stand just as the priest assesses it.

15But if the one who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will be his.

16“If a man consecrates to the Lord any part of a field that he possesses, your assessment of value will be proportional to the seed needed to sow it, at the rate of fifty silver shekels for every six bushels of barley seed.

17If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your assessment.

18But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your assessment will be reduced.

19If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him.

20But if he does not redeem the field or if he has sold it to another man, it is no longer redeemable.

21When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will be holy to the Lord like a field permanently set apart; it becomes the priest’s property.

22“If a person consecrates to the Lord a field he has purchased that is not part of his inherited landholding,

23then the priest will calculate for him the amount of the assessment up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person will pay the assessed value on that day as a holy offering to the Lord.

24In the Year of Jubilee the field will return to the one he bought it from, the original owner.

25All your assessed values will be measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

26“But no one can consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, whether an animal from the herd or flock, to the Lord, because a firstborn already belongs to the Lord.

27If it is one of the unclean livestock, it can be ransomed according to your assessment by adding a fifth of its value to it. If it is not redeemed, it can be sold according to your assessment.

28“Nothing that a man permanently sets apart to the Lord from all he owns, whether a person, an animal, or his inherited landholding, can be sold or redeemed; everything set apart is especially holy to the Lord.

29No person who has been set apart for destruction is to be ransomed; he must be put to death.

30“Every tenth of the land’s produce, grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.

31If a man decides to redeem any part of this tenth, he must add a fifth to its value.

32Every tenth animal from the herd or flock, which passes under the shepherd’s rod, will be holy to the Lord.

33He is not to inspect whether it is good or bad, and he is not to make a substitution for it. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute will be holy; they cannot be redeemed.”

34These are the commands the Lord gave Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
