Leviticus 27:8-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. “‘A person might be too poor to pay the price. If he is, bring him to the priest. The priest will decide how much money the person can afford to pay.

9. “‘Some animals may be used as sacrifices to the Lord. If someone promises to bring one of these animals, it will become holy.

10. That person must not try to put another animal in its place. He must not try to exchange it for something else. He must not try to exchange a good animal for a bad animal. And he must not exchange a bad animal for a good animal. If he tries to exchange animals, both animals will become holy.

11. “‘Unclean animals cannot be offered as sacrifices to the Lord. Someone might bring one of them to the Lord. If he does, that animal must be brought to the priest.

12. The priest will decide a price for the animal. The price will be according to whether the animal is good or bad. If the priest decides a price, that is the price for the animal.

13. If the person wants to buy back the animal, he must add an additional one-fifth to the price.
