Leviticus 27:8-18

Listen to Leviticus 27:8-18
8 'But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be placed before the priest and the priest shall value him; 1according * to the means * of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.
9 'Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the LORD, any such that one gives to the LORD shall be holy.
10 '2He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.
11 'If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which men do not present as an offering to the LORD, then he shall place the animal before the priest.
12 'The priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.
13 'But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.
14 'Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.
15 'Yet if the one who consecrates it should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.
16 'Again, if a man consecrates to the LORD part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.
17 'If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
18 'If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.
