Leviticus 27:22-28 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

22. “If a person consecrates to the Lord a field he has purchased that is not part of his inherited landholding,

23. then the priest will calculate for him the amount of the assessment up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person will pay the assessed value on that day as a holy offering to the Lord.

24. In the Year of Jubilee the field will return to the one he bought it from, the original owner.

25. All your assessed values will be measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, 20 gerahs to the shekel.

26. “But no one can consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, whether an animal from the herd or flock, to the Lord, because a firstborn already belongs to the Lord.

27. If it is one of the unclean livestock, it must be ransomed according to your assessment by adding a fifth of its value to it. If it is not redeemed, it can be sold according to your assessment.

28. “Nothing that a man permanently sets apart to the Lord from all he owns, whether a person, an animal, or his inherited landholding, can be sold or redeemed; everything set apart is especially holy to the Lord.
