Leviticus 27:17-34 World English Bible (WEB)

17. If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

18. But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.

19. If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.

20. If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;

21. but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.

22. “‘If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

23. then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.

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

25. All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.

26. “‘Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Yahweh, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep. It is Yahweh’s.

27. If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28. “‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Yahweh.

29. “‘No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30. “‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.

31. If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.

32. All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.

33. He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it. If he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

34. These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
