New Testament

Leviticus 27:22-33 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

28. Anything that a man shall devote to the Lord from all that he has, whether human, animal, or land, shall not be sold or redeemed. Every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

29. No one devoted of men, who shall be doomed to death, shall be redeemed; he shall surely be put to death.

30. Any tithe of the land, whether seed of the land or fruit of the trees, belongs to the Lord. It is holy to the Lord.

31. If a man plans on redeeming some of his tithe, he shall add one-fifth to it.

32. Any tithe of herd or flock, all that passes under the counting staff, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord.

33. A person shall not differentiate between good or bad, nor shall he make a substitute for it, but if he does, then both it and its substitute shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.
