26But note that a person cannot dedicate any oldest offspring from livestock, which already belongs to the LORD because it is the oldest. Whether ox or sheep, it belongs to the LORD. 27If it is an unclean animal, it may be bought back at its value plus twenty percent. If it is not bought back, it will be sold at its set value.
28Also note that everything someone devotesk to the LORD from their possessions--whether humans, animals, or pieces of land from their family property--cannot be sold or bought back. Every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD. 29No human beings that have been devoted can be bought back; they must be executed.
30All tenth-part giftsl from the land, whether of seed from the ground or fruit from the trees, belong to the LORD; they are holy to the LORD. 31If someone wishes to buy back part of their tenth-part gift, they must add one-fifth to it. 32All tenth-part gifts from a herd or flock--every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's staff--will be holy to the LORD. 33The one bringing the tenth-part gift must not pick out the good from the bad, and cannot substitute any animal. But if one should substitute an animal, both it and the substitute will be holy and cannot be bought back.
34These are the commands that the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
