28However, every devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh from all that belongs to him—whether human or animal, or from the field of his inherited property—shall not be sold or redeemed. Every devoted thing is most holy to Yahweh.

29No devoted thing that is devoted from man may be redeemed; it must surely be put to death.
