Levítico 27:27 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:27

And if [it be] of an unclean beast
This is to be understood, not of the firstling of unclean creatures in common, which were to be redeemed with a lamb, and not with money, according to the estimation of the priest, and a fifth part added to that; but of such as were sanctified, or vowed, for the reparation of the sanctuary, as Jarchi notes:

then he shall redeem [it] according to thine estimation;
the price the priest should set upon it, how much it was worth in his judgment:

and shall add a fifth [part] of it thereto;
to the price, set upon a fifth part of that over and above the sum; this the sanctifier, or he that made the vow, was obliged to pay, if he thought fit to redeem it:

or if it be not redeemed;
by him, he does not choose to give the price, and the fifth part:

then it shall be sold according to thy estimation;
to another man, without the fifth part, that chooses to purchase it, and then the purchase money was laid out for sacred uses.

Levítico 27:27 In-Context

25 "Toda valuación que hagas será conforme al siclo del santuario. Veinte geras son un siclo.

26 "Sin embargo, el primogénito de los animales, que por su primogenitura pertenece al SEÑOR, nadie puede consagrarlo; ya sea buey u oveja, es del SEÑOR.

27 "Pero si está entre los animales inmundos, entonces lo redimirá conforme a tu valuación, y añadirá sobre ella una quinta parte; pero si no es redimido, será vendido conforme a tu valuación.

28 "Sin embargo, cualquier cosa dedicada que alguno separe para el SEÑOR de lo que posee, sea hombre o animal, o campos de su propiedad, no se venderá ni redimirá. Toda cosa dedicada es santísima al SEÑOR.

29 "Ninguna persona que haya sido dedicada como anatema será redimida; ciertamente se le dará muerte.
