Leviticus 27:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁸ “ ‘But nothing a person owns and sets apart to the Lord can be sold or bought back. It does not matter whether it is a human being or an animal or a family’s land. Everything set apart to the Lord is very holy to him.

²⁹ “ ‘No one set apart in a special way to be destroyed can be bought back. They must be put to death.

³⁰ “ ‘A tenth of everything the land produces belongs to the Lord. That includes grain from the soil and fruit from the trees. It is holy. It is set apart for him.
