Leviticus 27:9-30

9‘Now if it is an animal of the kind that 1one can present as an offering to the Lord, any such animal that one gives to the Lord shall be holy. 102He shall not replace it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; yet 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 3one does not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place the animal before the priest. 12And the priest shall assess it 4as either good or bad; as you, the priest, assess it, so shall it be. 13But if he should ever want to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of it to your assessment.

14‘Now if someone consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall assess it 5as either good or bad; as the priest assesses it, so shall it stand. 15Yet if the one who consecrates it should want to redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of your assessment price to it, so that it may be his.

16‘Again, if someone consecrates to the Lord part of the field of his own property, then your assessment shall be 6proportionate to the seed needed for it: a 7homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver. 17If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your assessment it shall stand. 18If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for 8him 9proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your assessment. 19If the one who consecrates it should ever want to redeem the field, then he shall add a fifth of your assessment price to it, so that it may belong to him. 20Yet if he does not redeem the field, 10but has sold the field to another person, it may no longer be redeemed; 21and when it 11reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field banned from secular use; 12it shall be for the priest as his property. 22Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property, 23then the priest shall calculate for 13him the amount of your assessment up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your assessment 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 assessment of yours, moreover, shall be by 14the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

26‘15However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no one may consecrate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall 16redeem it according to your assessment and add to it a fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your assessment.

28‘Nevertheless, 1718anything which someone sets apart to the Lord for 19destruction out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the field of his own property, shall not be sold nor redeemed. Anything set apart for destruction is most holy to the Lord. 29No 20one who may have been 21set apart among mankind shall be ransomed; he must be put to death.

30‘Now 22all 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.
