Leviticus 27:15-30

¹⁵soothly if he that avowed will again-buy it, he shall give the fifth part of the value above, and he shall have the house.

¹⁶That if a man avoweth the field of his possession, and halloweth it to the Lord, the price shall be deemed by the measure of the seed; if the field is sown with thirty bushels of barley, it shall be sold for fifty shekels of silver.

¹⁷If he avoweth the field anon from the year of the beginning of the jubilee, as much as it may be worth, by so much it shall be appraised;

¹⁸but if it be after some part of time, the priest shall reckon, either determine, the money by the number of the years that be left till to the jubilee, and it shall be withdrawn of the price.

¹⁹That if he that avowed will again-buy the field, he shall add the fifth part of the money that is appraised, and he shall wield it;

²⁰but if he will not again-buy it, but it is sold to any other man, he that avowed it shall never be able to again-buy it;

²¹for when the day of jubilee cometh, that field shall be hallowed to the Lord, and the possession hallowed pertaineth to the right of priests.

²²If the field is bought, and is not of the possession of greater men, that is, of ancestors, and it is hallowed to the Lord,

²³the priest shall determine the price by the number of years till to the jubilee, and he that avowed the field shall give the price thereof to the Lord;

²⁴forsooth in the jubilee it shall turn again to the former lord that sold it, and he shall have it into the heritage of his possession.

²⁵All the appraising, or value, shall be weighed by the shekel of the saintuary; a shekel hath twenty half-pence.

²⁶No man may hallow and avow the first engendered things that pertain to the Lord, whether it is ox, or sheep, they be the Lord’s part.

²⁷That if the beast is unclean that is avowed, he that offered it shall again-buy it after the value that it is appraised, and he shall add to the fifth part of the price; if he will not again-buy it, it shall be sold to another man, for as much as it is appraised.

²⁸All thing that is hallowed to the Lord, whether it is man, or beast, whether field of his heritage, it shall not be sold, neither it shall be able to be again-bought; whatever thing is hallowed once, it shall be holy of holy things to the Lord,

²⁹and each hallowing which is offered of man, shall not be again-bought, but it shall die by death.

³⁰All the tithes of the earth, whether of fruits of corn, whether of apples of trees, be the Lord’s part, and be hallowed to him;
