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.
29. No person who has been set apart for destruction is to be ransomed; he must be put to death.
30. “Every tenth of the land’s produce, grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.
31. If a man decides to redeem any part of this tenth, he must add a fifth to its value.
32. Every tenth animal from the herd or flock, which passes under the shepherd’s rod, will be holy to the Lord.
33. He is not to inspect whether it is good or bad, and he is not to make a substitution for it. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute will be holy; they cannot be redeemed.”
34. These are the commands the Lord gave Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
