“ ‘If someone gives to the LORD a field he has bought, which is not a part of his family land, the priest must count the years to the next Jubilee. He must decide the price for the land, and the price must be paid on that day. Then that land will be holy to the LORD. At the year of Jubilee, the land will go back to its first owner, to the family who sold the land. “ ‘You must use the measure as set by the Holy Place in paying these prices; it weighs two-fifths of an ounce. “ ‘If an animal is the first one born to its parent, it already belongs to the LORD, so people may not give it again. If it is a cow or a sheep, it is the LORD’s. If the animal is unclean, the person must buy it back for the price set by the priest, and the person must add one-fifth to that price. If it is not bought back, the priest must sell it for the price he had decided. “ ‘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. “ ‘If anyone is given for the purpose of being destroyed, he cannot be bought back; he must be put to death. “ ‘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. If a person wants to get back that tenth, one-fifth must be added to its price. “ ‘The priest will take every tenth animal from a person’s herd or flock, and it will be holy to the LORD. 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.’ ” These are the commands the LORD gave to Moses at Mount Sinai for the people of Israel.
