Leviticus 27:11-21

11 animal inmundum quod immolari Domino non potest si quis voverit adducetur ante sacerdotem

12 qui diiudicans utrum bonum an malum sit statuet pretium

13 quod si dare voluerit is qui offert addet supra aestimationis quintam partem

14 homo si voverit domum suam et sanctificaverit Domino considerabit eam sacerdos utrum bona an mala sit et iuxta pretium quod ab eo fuerit constitutum venundabitur

15 sin autem ille qui voverat voluerit redimere eam dabit quintam partem aestimationis supra et habebit domum

16 quod si agrum possessionis suae voverit et consecraverit Domino iuxta mensuram sementis aestimabitur pretium si triginta modiis hordei seritur terra quinquaginta siclis veniet argenti

17 si statim ab anno incipientis iobelei voverit agrum quanto valere potest tanto aestimabitur

18 sin autem post aliquantum temporis supputabit sacerdos pecuniam iuxta annorum qui reliqui sunt numerum usque ad iobeleum et detrahetur ex pretio

19 quod si voluerit redimere agrum ille qui voverat addet quintam partem aestimatae pecuniae et possidebit eum

20 sin autem noluerit redimere sed alteri cuilibet fuerit venundatus ultra eum qui voverat redimere non poterit

21 quia cum iobelei venerit dies sanctificatus erit Domino et possessio consecrata ad ius pertinet sacerdotum
