If it is exchanged, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy. 11 If it is an unclean animal that cannot be offered to the LORD as a sacrifice, it must be presented before the priest. 12 The priest shall assess it as either good or bad; whatever value the priest assigns, that shall be its value. 13 If the owner wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value. 14 If someone consecrates their house as holy to the LORD, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; whatever value the priest assigns, so it shall remain. 15 If the one who consecrated it wishes to redeem their house, they must add a fifth to the valuation price, and it shall become theirs. 16 If someone dedicates part of their field as their possession to the LORD, the valuation will be based on how much seed is required to sow it—a homer of barley seed will be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If they dedicate their field during the Year of Jubilee, the valuation will stand as it is. 18 But if they dedicate their field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the value based on the number of years left until the next Jubilee, and a reduction will be made from the original valuation. 19 If the person who dedicated the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to the valuation price, and the field will be theirs again. 20 If they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can no longer be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy to the LORD, like a field devoted to Him. It will belong to the priest as their possession. 22 If someone dedicates a field they purchased, one that is not part of their ancestral inheritance, to the LORD, 23 the priest will calculate its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person must pay the value on that day. It will be holy to the LORD. 24 In the Year of Jubilee, the field will return to the original owner from whom it was purchased, the one who holds it as their ancestral inheritance. 25 Every valuation will be according to the sanctuary shekel, where twenty gerahs make a shekel. 26 However, no one may dedicate the firstborn of their animals, because the firstborn already belongs to the LORD, whether it is an ox or a sheep. 27 If it is an unclean animal, it may be redeemed according to its valuation by adding a fifth of its value, or if not redeemed, it must be sold at its valuation. 28 Anything that is devoted to the LORD, whether a person, an animal, or a field from one's possession, cannot be sold or redeemed; everything devoted is most holy to the LORD. 29 No person who has been devoted to destruction for the LORD may be redeemed; they must be put to death. 30 A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. 31 If anyone wishes to redeem any part of their tithe, they must add a fifth of its value to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd or flock, every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod, will be holy to the LORD. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does substitute one animal for another, both the original animal and its substitute shall become holy and cannot be redeemed. 34 These are the commandments the LORD gave Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.
