Leviticus 27:10-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. He shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it and the substitute shall be holy.

11. And if it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the Lord, then he shall stand the animal before the priest,

12. and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be.

13. But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation.

14. “When a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the Lord, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

15. And if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth to the valuation price, and it shall be his.

16. “If a man dedicates to the Lord part of the land that is his possession, then the valuation shall be in proportion to its seed. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17. If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, the valuation shall stand,

18. but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from the valuation.

19. And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price, and it shall remain his.

20. But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.

21. But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the Lord, like a field that has been devoted. The priest shall be in possession of it.

22. If he dedicates to the Lord a field that he has bought, which is not a part of his possession,

23. then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the Lord.
