Leviticus 27:26-28
New American Standard Bible 1995
26 ‘(A)However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall [a]redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
28 ‘Nevertheless, (B)anything which a man [b]sets apart to the Lord out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything [c]devoted to destruction is most holy to the Lord.

Leviticus 27:26-28
New International Version
26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord;(A) whether an ox[a] or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals,(B) it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.
28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes[b](C) to the Lord—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy(D) to the Lord.
