14. When someone dedicates a house as sacred to the Lord, the priest shall determine its value in keeping with its good or bad qualities, and the value set by the priest shall stand.
15. A person dedicating a house who then wishes to redeem it shall pay one fifth more than the price thus established, and then it will again belong to that individual.
16. If someone dedicates to the Lord a portion of hereditary land, its valuation shall be made according to the amount of seed required to sow it, the acreage sown with a homer of barley seed being valued at fifty silver shekels.
17. If the dedication of a field is made at the beginning of a jubilee period, the full valuation shall hold;
18. but if it is some time after this, the priest shall estimate its money value according to the number of years left until the next jubilee year, with a corresponding reduction on the valuation.
19. A person dedicating a field who then wishes to redeem it shall pay one fifth more than the price thus established, and so reclaim it.
20. If, instead of redeeming such a field, one sells it to another, it may no longer be redeemed;
21. but at the jubilee it shall be released as sacred to the Lord; like a field that is put under the ban, it shall become priestly property.
22. If someone dedicates to the Lord a field that was purchased and was not part of hereditary property,
23. the priest shall compute its value in proportion to the number of years until the next jubilee, and on the same day the person shall pay the price thus established, a sacred donation to the Lord;
24. at the jubilee the field shall revert to the hereditary owner of this land from whom it had been purchased.
25. Every valuation shall be made according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel. There are twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26. Note that a firstborn animal, which as such already belongs to the Lord, may not be dedicated. Whether an ox or a sheep, it is the Lord’s.
27. But if it is an unclean animal, it may be redeemed by paying one fifth more than its value. If it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at its value.
