Context of Leviticus 27:25

23Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of thy estimation, even to the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thy estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the LORD. 24In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belonged . And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. 26Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD’S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether ox, or sheep: it is the LORD’S. 27And if it shall be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thy estimation, and shall add to it a fifth part of it: or if it shall be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
