Leviticus 27:9-27

⁹If when you fulfill your promise you bring an animal that is permitted as an offering to the Lord, the animal given to the Lord shall be considered holy.

¹⁰You are not allowed to replace it or swap it, either for one that is better or one that is worse. However, if you do replace it then both animals become holy.

¹¹If when you fulfill your promise you bring any unclean animal that is not permitted as an offering to the Lord, then you must show the animal to the priest.

¹²The priest will decide its value, whether high or low. Whatever value the priest places on it is final.

¹³If you then decide to buy the animal back, you have to add one fifth to its value in payment.

¹⁴If you dedicate your house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will decide its value, whether high or low. Whatever value the priest places on it remains final.

¹⁵But if you want to buy back your house, you have to add one fifth to its value in payment. Then it will belong to you again.

¹⁶If you dedicate some of your land to the Lord, then its value shall be determined by the amount of seed required to sow it: fifty shekels of silver for every homer of barley seed used.

¹⁷If you dedicate your field during the Jubilee Year, the value will be the full amount calculated.

¹⁸But if you dedicate your field after the Jubilee, the priest will work out the value depending on the number of years left until the next Jubilee Year, so reducing the value.

¹⁹But if you want to buy your field back, you have to add one fifth to its value in payment. Then it will belong to you again.

²⁰But if you don't buy the field back, or if you've already sold it to someone else, it can't ever be bought back.

²¹When the Jubilee comes, the field will become holy, in the same way as a field devoted to the Lord. It will become the property of the priests.

²²If you dedicate to the Lord a field you've bought that was not part of your original property,

²³the priest will work out the value until the next Jubilee Year. You will pay on that day the exact value, giving it as a holy offering to the Lord.

²⁴In the Jubilee Year, ownership the field shall revert back to the person you bought it from—to the original owner of the land.

²⁵(All values will use the sanctuary shekel standard of twenty gerahs to the shekel.)

²⁶No one is allowed to dedicate the firstborn of the livestock, because the firstborn belong to the Lord. Whether they are cattle, sheep, or goats, they are the Lord's.

²⁷But if it is an unclean animal, then you can buy it back according to its value, adding on one fifth extra. If it's not bought back, then it is to be sold according to its value.
