New Testament

Leviticus 27:10-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. He shall not exchange it nor substitute it, good for bad or bad for good. If he in fact substitutes an animal for another, then both it and its substitute shall be holy.

11. If it is any sort of unclean animal that is not permitted as an offering to the Lord, then he shall present the animal before the priest.

12. And the priest shall set its value, whether good or bad; according to the equivalent value set by the priest, so shall it be.

13. But if he plans on redeeming it, then he shall add one-fifth to the equivalent value.

15. If he who consecrates the house should redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth to its equivalent value, and it shall be his.

16. If a man shall consecrate to the Lord some of his land, then the equivalent value shall be according to the seed needed to sow it: fifty shekels of silver per homer of barley seed.

17. If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, the equivalent value shall stay fixed,

18. but if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate for him the price according to the years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and the equivalent value shall be reduced.

19. And if he who consecrated the field plans on redeeming it, then he shall add one-fifth to the equivalent value, and it will be established as his.

20. If he does not redeem the field, but rather sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again.

21. But when the field is released in the Jubilee, it shall be holy to the Lord as a devoted field; it shall become the possession of the priest.

22. If a man consecrates to the Lord a field that he purchased, which is not part of his land property,
