goeth out in the trompet year, it shall be holy unto the LORD: even as
a thing dedicated, and it shall be the priest's possession. If a man
sanctify unto the LORD a field, which he hath bought and is not of his
inheritance, then the priest shall reckon with him what it is worth
unto the trompet year, {year of jubilee} and he shall give the price
that it is set at the same day, and it shall be holy unto the LORD. But
in the trompet year, the field shall return unto him of whom he bought
it, whose inheritance of land it was. And all setting shall be
according to the holy sicle. One sicle maketh twenty geras. But the
firstborn of the beasts that pertain unto the LORD, may no man
sanctify: whether it be ox or sheep, for they are the LORD's already.
If it be an unclean beast, then let him redeem it as it is set at, and
give the fifth part more thereto. If it be not redeemed, then let it be
sold as it is rated. Notwithstanding no dedicated thing that a man
dedicateth unto the LORD, of all his goods, whether it be man or beast
or land of his inheritance, shall be sold or redeemed: for all dedicate
things are most holy unto the LORD. No dedicated thing therefore that
is dedicate of man, may be redeemed, but must needs die. All these
tithes of the land, whether it be of the corn of the field or fruit of
the trees, shall be holy unto the LORD. If any man will redeem ought of
his tithes, let him add the fifth part more thereto. And the tithes of
oxen and sheep and of all that goeth under the herdman's keeping, shall
be holy tithes unto the LORD. Men shall not look if it be good or bad
nor shall change it. If any man change it then both it and that it was
changed withall, shall be holy and may not be redeemed. These are the
commandments which the LORD gave Moses in charge to give unto the
children of Israel in mount Sinai.
