Leviticus 27:17-27 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

17. If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand as your proper value.

18. But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money for him according to the number of years that are left over until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your proper value.

19. And if he indeed redeems the field that is consecrated, then he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall stand for him.

20. And if he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again,

21. and the field shall be a holy object for Yahweh when it goes out in the Jubilee, like a devoted field; it shall be the priest’s property.

22. “ ‘And if he consecrates for Yahweh his acquired field that is not the field of his inherited possession,

23. then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day as a holy object for Yahweh.

24. In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land is.

25. And every proper value of yours shall be in the sanctuary’s shekel—the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

26. “ ‘However, a man shall not consecrate a firstborn among livestock, which belongs as firstborn to Yahweh; whether an ox or small livestock, it is for Yahweh.

27. And if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it according to your proper value, and he shall add a fifth of its value onto it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your proper value.
