22 If someone dedicates to the Lord a field that he has bought,
23 the priest shall estimate its value according to the number of years until the next Year of Restoration, and the person must pay the price that very day; the money belongs to the Lord.
24 At the Year of Restoration the field shall be returned to the original owner or to his descendants.
25 All prices shall be fixed according to the official standard.
26 The firstborn of an animal already belongs to the Lord, so no one may dedicate it to him as a freewill offering. A calf, a lamb, or a kid belongs to the Lord,
27 but the firstborn of an unclean animal may be bought back at the standard price plus an additional twenty per cent. If it is not bought back, it may be sold to someone else at the standard price.
28 No one may sell or buy back what he has unconditionally dedicated and could not be used; it had to be destroyed. to the Lord, whether it is a human being, an animal, or land. It belongs permanently to the Lord.
