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 the Lord, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.
22. “‘If he dedicates a field to the Lord 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 the Lord.
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 evaluations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26. “‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to the Lord as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is the Lord’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 devotes to the Lord of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to the Lord.
29. “‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death.
