Leviticus 27:16-26

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

22 si ager emptus et non de possessione maiorum sanctificatus fuerit Domino

23 supputabit sacerdos iuxta annorum numerum usque ad iobeleum pretium et dabit ille qui voverat eum Domino

24 in iobeleo autem revertetur ad priorem dominum qui vendiderat eum et habuerat in sortem possessionis suae

25 omnis aestimatio siclo sanctuarii ponderabitur siclus viginti obolos habet

26 primogenita quae ad Dominum pertinent nemo sanctificare poterit et vovere sive bos sive ovis fuerit Domini sunt
