Leviticus 27:22-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.

24. In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession.

25. Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.

26. “But a firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s.

27. And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation.

28. “But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the Lord, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

29. No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30. “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.

31. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
