Leviticus 27:9-13
New International Version
Leviticus 27:9-13
New International Version
9 “‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord,(A) such an animal given to the Lord becomes holy.(B) 10 They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one;(C) if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy. 11 If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal(D)—one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord—the animal must be presented to the priest, 12 who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be. 13 If the owner wishes to redeem(E) the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.(F)

King James Version
Leviticus 27:9-13
King James Version
9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord, all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.
10 He 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 beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

Leviticus 27:26-33
New International Version
26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord;(A) whether an ox[a] or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals,(B) it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.
28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes[b](C) to the Lord—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy(D) to the Lord.
29 “‘No person devoted to destruction[c] may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.(E)
30 “‘A tithe(F) of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy(G) to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem(H) any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value(I) to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod(J)—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.(K) If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.(L)’”

Leviticus 27:26-33
King James Version
Leviticus 27:26-33
King James Version
26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord's.
27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.
29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord.
31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.
33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
