Leviticus 27:26-33

26The first baby that an animal has is holy. It belongs to the Lord. A person cannot give it as a special gift to the Lord.

27The animal might be an unclean animal (an animal that they must not eat). The person can pay the price of the animal and one fifth more to get it back. If the person does not buy it back, the priest will sell it.

28A man might give to the Lord something that the man has. Everything that a man gives like that is holy. It might be a person, an animal or land. The priest must not sell it. A man cannot take it back. Everything that someone gives to the Lord is most holy.

29God might decide that a person must die. If he does, nobody can buy the person back. The person must die.

30One tenth of everything that comes from the land is holy to the Lord. It may be grain or fruit. It belongs to the Lord.

31If a person buys back any of his gift, he must pay the price and one fifth more.

32Out of every ten animals, one animal is holy. It belongs to the Lord.

33A person must not change a good animal for a bad animal. A person must not change a bad animal for a good animal. If he does that, both animals are holy. They belong to God. A person cannot buy them back.’
