28 “ ‘There is a special kind of gift that people set apart to give to the Lord ; it may be a person, animal, or field from the family property. That gift cannot be bought back or sold. Every special kind of gift is most holy to the Lord.
29 “ ‘If anyone is given for the purpose of being destroyed, he cannot be bought back; he must be put to death.
30 “ ‘One-tenth of all crops belongs to the Lord, including the crops from fields and the fruit from trees. That one-tenth is holy to the Lord.
31 If a person wants to get back that tenth, one-fifth must be added to its price.
32 “ ‘The priest will take every tenth animal from a person’s herd or flock, and it will be holy to the Lord.
33 The owner should not pick out the good animals from the bad or exchange one animal for another. If that happens, both animals will become holy; they cannot be bought back.’ ”
