13If the man who gave the animal later decides that he wants to buy it back, he must pay to the priest that price plus an additional 20 perent.
14Similarly, if someone dedicates his house to be a sacred gift to belong to me, the priest will decide how much it is worth, which will depend on whether the house is in good condition. Whatever the priest says that it is worth, that will be its value and that is the price that the priest must pay for it.
15If the man who dedicated his house to me later wants to buy it back, he must pay that price plus an additonal 20 percent, and then the house will belong to him again.
16If someone dedicates to me some of the property that belongs to him and his family, its value will be determined by the number of bushels of seed that will be needed to plant seeds on that land: Its value will be ten pieces of silver for each bushel of seed.
17If he dedicates the land during the Year of Celebration, its full value will be that amount.
18But if he dedicates the field after the Year of Celebration, the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration, and if there are not many years that remain, the price will be much lower than the full price.
19If the person who dedicated the field later wants to buy it back, he must pay to the priest the price that the priest says it is worth, plus an added one-fifth, and then the field will belong to that man again.
20However, if he does not buy it back, or if it has been sold (OR, the priest has sold it) to someone else, that person will never be permitted to buy it back again.
21In the Year of Celebration, it will become sacred again, and it will be given to the priest.
22If someone dedicates to me some land that he has bought, land which is not part of the land that his family has always owned,
23the priest will count the number of years until the next Year of Celebration to determine how much it is worth, and the man must pay that amount to the priest on that day, and then that land will belong to that man again.
24But in the Year of Celebration, the land will again be owned by the person from whom he bought it, the person whose family had always owned that land.
25All the silver that is paid must be compared with the official pieces of silver in the Sacred Tent.
26No one is permitted to dedicate to me the firstborn of any cow or sheep, because the firstborn already belongs to me DOU.
27If someone gives to me a kind of animal that is not acceptable to me, that person may later buy it back by paying what it is worth plus an additial 20 percent of its value. If he does not buy it back, it must be sold (OR, the priest must sell it) for its standard price.
28However, no slave or animal or family land that someone owns can be sold or bought back after it has been dedicated to me and no price has been paid for it. That kind of gift belongs to me permanently/forever.
29No person who has done something that I consider to be very wicked is permitted to be freed from being punished; that person must surely be executed.
30One tenth of all the crops and grain or fruit that is produced on anyone's land is sacred and belongs to me.
31If anyone wants to buy back any of that tenth, he must pay to the priest what it is worth plus an additional 20 percent.
32One of every ten domestic animals belongs to me. When a shepherd counts his animals MTY to decide which ones he will give to me, he must mark every tenth one as belonging to me.
33When he does that, he must not pick out the good ones for himself or leave the bad ones, or substitute bad ones for good ones. If he substitutes one animal for another, both animals will belong to me, and he will not be permitted to buy them back (OR, the shepherd cannot buy them back).' ”
34Those are the commands that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain to tell to the people.
