²⁸ Surely nothing devoted to Me as an irrevocable vow, regardless of what it is—a person, an animal, or a piece of property—can be sold or bought back; it must be destroyed. Anything devoted in this way is most holy to Me and cannot be put to another use. ²⁹ No person who is devoted irrevocably to Me^[a] can be redeemed. He must be put to death.

³⁰ One-tenth of everything the land produces—seeds from the ground and fruits from the trees—belongs to Me and is sacred to Me.
