New Testament

Leviticus 27:14-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. When a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall set its value, whether good or bad, according to the equivalent value set by the priest, so shall it be established.

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,

23. then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of the valuation, up to the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day as a holy thing to the Lord.

24. In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought, to him to whom the property of land belongs.

25. All your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: Twenty gerahs shall be one shekel.

26. A firstborn of animals, which as firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may consecrate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s.

27. If it is among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it at the equivalent value and shall add one-fifth to it, but if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold at the equivalent value.
