Leviticus 27:11-19 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. If the solemn promise involves any kind of unclean animal that cannot be offered to the Lord, the promise maker must set the animal before the priest.

12. The priest will assign it a value, whether high or low. Its value will be what the priest says.

13. If the promise maker wishes to buy it back, they must add one-fifth to its value.

14. When someone dedicates their house to the Lord as holy, the priest will assign a value to it, whether high or low. The value is fixed, whatever value the priest assigns to it.

15. If the one who dedicates the house wishes to buy it back, they must add one-fifth to its valued price, and it will be theirs again.

16. If a person dedicates part of the land from their family property to the Lord, the value will be set according to the seed needed to plant it: fifty silver shekels per homer of barley seed.

17. If the person dedicates the piece of land during the Jubilee year, its value will stay fixed.

18. But if the person dedicates the piece after the Jubilee year, the priest will calculate the price according to the years that are left until the next Jubilee year, and the value will be reduced.

19. If the one who dedicates the land wishes to buy it back, they must add one-fifth to its valued price, and it will be theirs again.
