And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price, and it shall remain his.
But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.
But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the Lord, like a field that has been devoted. The priest shall be in possession of it.
If he dedicates to the Lord a field that he has bought, which is not a part of his possession,
then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the Lord.
In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession.
Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.
“But a firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord's.
And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation.
“But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the Lord, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.
“Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord.
And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the Lord.
One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”
These are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
The Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
“Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel, by clans, by fathers' houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by head.
And there shall be with you a man from each tribe, each man being the head of the house of his fathers.
And these are the names of the men who shall assist you. From Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;
from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;
from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;
from Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;
from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;
from the sons of Joseph, from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud, and from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;
from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;
from Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;
from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran;
from Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;
from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.”
These were the ones chosen from the congregation, the chiefs of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.
and on the first day of the second month, they assembled the whole congregation together, who registered themselves by clans, by fathers' houses, according to the number of names from twenty years old and upward, head by head,
as the Lord commanded Moses. So he listed them in the wilderness of Sinai.
