⁹ “If the vow concerns an animal that may be brought as an offering to the Lord, any such animal that may be given to the Lord shall be holy. ¹⁰ Another shall not be exchanged or substituted for it, either good for bad or bad for good, and if one animal is substituted for another, both that one and its substitute shall be holy. ¹¹ If the vow concerns any unclean animal that may not be brought as an offering to the Lord, the animal shall be presented before the priest. ¹² The priest shall assess it: whether good or bad, according to the assessment of the priest, so it shall be.^{(A) 13} But if it is to be redeemed, one-fifth must be added to the assessment.^(B)

²⁶ “A firstling of animals, however, which as a firstling belongs to the Lord, cannot be consecrated by anyone; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s.^{(A) 27} If it is an unclean animal, it shall be ransomed at its assessment, with one-fifth added; if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at its assessment.^(B)

²⁸ “Nothing that a person owns that has been devoted to destruction for the Lord, be it human or animal or inherited landholding, may be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.^{(C) 29} No human beings who have been devoted to destruction can be ransomed; they shall be put to death.

³⁰ “All tithes from the land, whether the seed from the ground or the fruit from the tree, are the Lord’s; they are holy to the Lord.^{(D) 31} If persons wish to redeem any of their tithes, they must add one-fifth to them.^{(E) 32} All tithes of herd and flock, every tenth one that passes under the shepherd’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord. ³³ Let no one inquire whether it is good or bad or make substitution for it; if one makes substitution for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy and cannot be redeemed.”^(F)
