Leviticus 27:27-29
New English Translation

27 If, however,[a] it is among the unclean animals, he may ransom it according to[b] its conversion value and must add one-fifth to it, but if it is not redeemed it must be sold according to its conversion value.

Things Permanently Dedicated to the Lord

28 “‘Surely anything that a man permanently dedicates to the Lord[c] from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the Lord. 29 Any human being who is permanently dedicated[d] to the Lord[e] must not be ransomed; such a person must be put to death.
