Leviticus 27:11-23

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[11] If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest; [12] and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be. [13] But 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 Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand. [15] If 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. [16] "'If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. [17] If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. [18] But 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 Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation. [19] If 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. [20] If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more; [21] but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests. [22] "'If he dedicates to Yahweh a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession, [23] then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.
