Leviticus 27:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ Suppose it is an “unclean” animal. Then the owner may buy it back at the value that has been decided. And they must add a fifth to its value. But suppose it is not bought back. Then it must be sold at the value that has been decided.

²⁸ “ ‘But nothing a person owns and sets apart to the Lord can be sold or bought back. It does not matter whether it is a human being or an animal or a family’s land. Everything set apart to the Lord is very holy to him.

²⁹ “ ‘No one set apart in a special way to be destroyed can be bought back. They must be put to death.
