Leviticus 27:14-34 ▼

14 And when a man sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands;

15 and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his.

16 And if a man sanctifies to YHWH from a field of his possession, then your valuation has been according to its seed—a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;

17 if he sanctifies his field from the Year of the Jubilee, according to your valuation it stands;

18 and if he sanctifies his field after the Jubilee, then the priest has reckoned the money to him according to the years which are left, to the Year of the Jubilee, and it has been diminished from your valuation.

19 And if he really redeems the field—he who is sanctifying it—then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has been established to him;

20 and if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed anymore;

21 and the field has been, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to YHWH as a field which is devoted; his possession is for the priest.

22 And if he sanctifies a field of his purchase to YHWH, which [is] not of the fields of his possession,

23 then the priest has reckoned to him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and he has given your valuation in that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH;

24 in the Year of the Jubilee the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him who [has] the possession of the land.

25 And all your valuation is by the shekel of the holy place: the shekel is twenty gerahs.

26 Only, a firstling which is YHWH’s firstling among beasts—no man sanctifies it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] YHWH’s.

27 And if [from] among the unclean beast, then he has ransomed [it] at your valuation, and he has added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it has been sold at your valuation.

28 Only, no devoted thing which a man devotes to YHWH of all that he has, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to YHWH.

29 No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.

30 And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is YHWH’s; [it is] holy to YHWH.

31 And if a man really redeems [any] of his tithe, he adds its fifth to it.

32 And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock—all that passes by under the rod—the tenth is holy to YHWH;

33 he does not inquire between good and bad, nor does he exchange it; and if he really exchanges it, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.”

34 These [are] the commands which YHWH has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.
