Leviticus 27:30-33

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

30 Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.

31 If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.

32 Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD.

33 He must not inspect whether it is good or bad, and he shall not make any substitution. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’”
