Leviticus 27:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ If the animal is unclean [^Cin a ritual sense], the person must ·buy it back [ransom it] for the ·price set by the priest [equivalent], and the person must add one-fifth to that price. If it is not ·bought back [redeemed], the priest must sell it for ·the price he had decided [its equivalent].

²⁸ “‘·There is a special kind of gift that people set apart to give [^LAll devoted things that are devoted…] to the Lord; it may be a person, animal, or field from the family property. That gift cannot be ·bought back [redeemed] or sold. Every ·special kind of gift [devoted thing] is most holy to the Lord.

²⁹ “‘·If anyone is given for the purpose of being destroyed, he [^LEveryone who is devoted from among people] cannot be ·bought back [redeemed]; he must be put to death.
