Leviticus 27:25

Compare all

23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation, up to the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day as a holy offering to the Lord.

24 ^aIn the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to the one who owned the land as a possession.

25 And all your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: ^atwenty gerahs to the shekel.

26 ‘But the ^afirstborn of the animals, which should be the Lord’s firstborn, no man shall dedicate; whether it is an ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s.

27 And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation, and ^ashall add one-fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
