Leviticus

Leviticus 27 ©

1 He that maketh a singular vow must be the Lord's. 3 The estimation of the person; 9 of a beast given by vow; 14 of a house; 16 of a field, and the redemption thereof. 26 No man may sanctify the Lord's firstlings. 28 No devoted thing may be redeemed. 30 The tithe is holy, and may not be changed.
