Leviticus 27:22-34 ▼

22 Or if he sets apart as holy to Yahweh a field which he has bought, which is not a portion of the field of his own possession,

23 then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to Yahweh.

24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

25 Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

26 ‘However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to Yahweh, no man may set it apart as holy; whether ox or sheep, it is Yahweh’s.

27 But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28 ‘Nevertheless, anything which a man devotes to Yahweh out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own possession, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction is most holy to Yahweh.

29 No one who may have been devoted among men shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30 ‘Thus all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, belongs to Yahweh; it is holy to Yahweh.

31 If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

32 For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to Yahweh.

33 He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

34 These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai.
