Leviticus 27:11-20

Living Bible

^11-12 But if the animal given to the Lord is not a kind that is permitted as a sacrifice, the owner shall bring it to the priest to value it, and he shall be told how much to pay instead. ¹³ If the animal is a kind that may be offered as a sacrifice,^[a] but the man wants to redeem it, then he shall pay 20 percent more than the value set by the priest.

^14-15 “If someone donates his home to the Lord and then wishes to redeem it, the priest will decide its value, and the man shall pay that amount plus 20 percent, and the house will be his again.

¹⁶ “If a man dedicates any part of his field to the Lord, value it in proportion to its size, as indicated by the amount of seed required to sow it. A section of land that requires ten bushels of barley seed for sowing is valued at twenty-five dollars. ¹⁷ If a man dedicates his field in the Year of Jubilee, then the whole estimate shall stand; ¹⁸ but if it is after the Year of Jubilee, then the value shall be in proportion to the number of years remaining until the next Year of Jubilee. ¹⁹ If the man decides to redeem the field, he shall pay 20 percent in addition to the priest’s valuation, and the field will be his again. ²⁰ But if he decides not to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to someone else and has given to the Lord his rights to it at the Year of Jubilee,^[b] it shall not be returned to him again.
