New Testament

Leviticus 27:27-32 Common English Bible (CEB)

27. If it is an unclean animal, it may be bought back at its value plus twenty percent. If it is not bought back, it will be sold at its set value.

28. Also note that everything someone devotes to the Lord from their possessions—whether humans, animals, or pieces of land from their family property—cannot be sold or bought back. Every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

29. No human beings that have been devoted can be bought back; they must be executed.

30. All tenth-part gifts from the land, whether of seed from the ground or fruit from the trees, belong to the Lord; they are holy to the Lord.

31. If someone wishes to buy back part of their tenth-part gift, they must add one-fifth to it.

32. All tenth-part gifts from a herd or flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s staff—will be holy to the Lord.
