Leviticus 27:13-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. But if he who offers it was willing to give, he shall add a fifth part above the estimation.

14. If a man has vowed his house, and he has sanctified it to the Lord, the priest shall examine it, whether it is good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price which he will have established.

15. But if he who vowed it was willing to redeem it, he shall give a fifth part beyond the estimation, and he shall have the house.

16. But if he has vowed a field of his possession, and has consecrated it to the Lord, the price shall be estimated according to the measure of the seed. If the land would be sown with thirty measures of barley, then let it be sold for fifty shekels of silver.

17. If he has vowed his field beginning from the current year of Jubilee, as much as it may be worth, so shall it be estimated.

18. But if, after some amount of time, the priest shall evaluate the money according to the number of years that remain until the Jubilee, then the price shall be reduced.

19. But if he who had vowed it, was willing to redeem his field, he shall add a fifth part of the money to the estimation, and then he shall possess it.

20. But if he is not willing to redeem it, then it shall be sold to any other; he who vowed it is no longer able to redeem it.

21. For when the day of Jubilee arrives, it shall be sanctified to the Lord. And as a possession that has been consecrated, it rightfully belongs to the priest.

22. If a field has been bought, and it is not from the possession of ancestors, it shall be sanctified to the Lord.

23. The priest shall evaluate the price according to the number of years until the Jubilee; and the one who had vowed it shall give to the Lord.

24. Then, in the Jubilee, it shall be returned to the former owner, the one who had sold it and who had held it within the lot of his possession.

25. All estimation shall be weighed according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.

26. The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no one is able to sanctify or vow, whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they are for the Lord.
