Vayikra 27:25-33 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. And all thy evaluations shall be according to the shekel HaKodesh; twenty gerah shall be the shekel.

26. Only the bechor of the behemah, which should be Hashem's Bechor, no man shall set it apart as kodesh; whether it be shor (ox), or seh (sheep): it is Hashem's.

27. And if it be of a behemah hatemeiah, then he shall redeem it according to thine evaluation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy evaluation.

28. Nevertheless, no cherem (devoted thing), that a man shall devote unto Hashem of all that he hath, both of adam and behemah, and of the sadeh of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every cherem is kodesh kodashim unto Hashem.

29. No cherem, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30. And all the ma'aser HaAretz (tithe of the Land), whether of the zera HaAretz, or of the pri HaEtz, is Hashem's; it is kodesh unto Hashem.

31. And if a man will at all redeem ought of his ma'asor (tithes), he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

32. And concerning the ma'aser of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be kodesh unto Hashem.

33. He shall not search whether it be tov or rah, neither shall he change it; and if he substitute it at all, then both it and the substitute thereof shall be kodesh; it shall not be redeemed.
