Leviticus 27:26-30
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.
