Leviticus 27:25-27
Easy-to-Read Version
25 “You must use the official measure in paying these prices. The shekel by that measure weighs 20 gerahs.[a]
Value of Animals
26 “You can give cattle and sheep as special gifts to the Lord. But if the animal is the firstborn, it already belongs to the Lord. So you cannot give these animals as special gifts. 27 If the firstborn animal is an unclean animal, you must buy back that animal. The priest will decide the price of the animal, and you must add one-fifth to that price. If you don’t buy that animal back, the priest will sell the animal for whatever price he decides.
