Leviticus 27:9-30

9‘Now if it is an animal of the kind which 1men can present as an offering to the Lord, any such that one gives to the Lord shall be holy. 102He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. 11If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which 3men do not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place the animal before the priest. 12The priest shall value it 4as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be. 13But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.

14‘Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall value it 5as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand. 15Yet if the one who consecrates it should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.

16‘Again, if a man consecrates to the Lord part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be 6proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver. 17If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. 18If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for 7him 8proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation. 19If the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him. 20Yet if he will not redeem the field, 9but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed; 21and when it 10reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field 11set apart; 12it shall be for the priest as his 13property. 22Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own 14property, 23then the priest shall calculate for 15him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to the Lord. 24In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs. 25Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after 16the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

26‘17However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall 18redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28‘Nevertheless, 19anything which a man 20sets apart to the Lord out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything 21devoted to destruction is most holy to the Lord. 29No 22one who may have been 23set apart among men shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30‘Thus 24all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.
