Leviticus 27:26

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.

28 ^a‘Nevertheless no¹ devoted offering that a man may devote to the Lord of all that he has, both man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted offering is most holy to the Lord.

29 ^aNo person under the ban, who may become doomed to destruction among men, shall be redeemed, but shall surely be put to death.
