Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 27:10-27

¹⁰He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

¹¹If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Adonai , then he shall set the animal before the priest;

¹²and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be.

¹³But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.

¹⁴“‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Adonai , then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.

¹⁵If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his. (RY:7, LY:5)

¹⁶“‘If a man dedicates to Adonai part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer 6.33 bushels; 59 gal; 220 L of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg of silver.

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

¹⁸But 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 Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.

¹⁹If 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.

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

²¹but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Adonai , as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests. (LY:6)

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

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

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

²⁵All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: the shekel is 0.4oz; 11.34 g; or called twenty gerahs 20/50 of an oz.

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

²⁷If 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 is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
