Leviticus 27:19-27

19If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.

20But if you don’t buy it back and it is sold to someone else, you cannot buy it back.

21When the field is released in the jubilee year, it will be holy like a field claimed by the Lord. It will become the property of the priest.

22You may give a field you bought (not one that was a part of your family property) to the Lord as something holy.

23The priest must figure out the field’s value until the jubilee year. You will pay its value on that day as something holy, belonging to the Lord.

24In the jubilee year the field will go back to the person from whom it was bought, to whom it belongs as family property.

25“All values will be set using the standard weight of the holy place.

26“A firstborn animal already belongs to the Lord because it was born first. Therefore, it cannot be set apart as holy. Whether it is a bull or a sheep, it belongs to the Lord.

27But if it is an unclean animal, it must be bought back. The payment will be its full value plus one-fifth more. If it is not bought back, it must be sold at the value given it.
