Leviticus 27:28-30
Contemporary English Version
28 (A) Anything that you completely dedicate to me must be completely destroyed.[a] It cannot be bought back or sold. Every person, animal, and piece of property that you dedicate completely is only for me. 29 In fact, any humans who have been promised to me in this way must be put to death.
30 (B) Ten percent of everything you harvest is holy and belongs to me, whether it grows in your fields or on your fruit trees.
