Leviticus 27:14-15

Vows, Valuations, Dedications, Devoted Things, Firstborn, and Tithes Belonging to the LORD

The LORD gives Moses regulations for special vows involving persons and fixed sanctuary valuations according to age and sex, with provision for the poor. He then regulates vowed animals, houses, inherited fields, purchased fields, redemption by adding a fifth, firstborn animals, devoted things, and tithes from land and herds. The chapter concludes by identifying these commands as those the LORD gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

14 Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it.

15 But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him.
