Leviticus 27:17-29 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

27. But if it is an unclean animal, whoever offers it shall redeem it, according to your estimation, and he shall add a fifth part to the price. If he is not willing to redeem it, it shall be sold to another for whatever amount it was estimated by you.

28. All that is consecrated to the Lord, whether it is a man, or an animal, or a field, shall not be sold; neither is it able to be redeemed. Anything, once it has been consecrated, shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.

29. And all that has been consecrated, which is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but shall surely die.
