Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the eastern public square.He said to them,“ Hear me, Levites. Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the temple of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors. Remove everything impure from the holy place.For our fathers were unfaithful and did what is evil in the sight of the Lord our God. They abandoned Him, turned their faces away from the Lord’s tabernacle, and turned their backs on Him.They also closed the doors of the portico, extinguished the lamps, did not burn incense, and did not offer burnt offerings in the holy place of the God of Israel.Therefore, the wrath of the Lord was on Judah and Jerusalem, and He made them an object of terror, horror, and mockery, as you see with your own eyes.Our fathers fell by the sword, and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity because of this.It is in my heart now to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel so that His burning anger may turn away from us.My sons, don’t be negligent now, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in His presence, to serve Him, and to be His ministers and burners of incense.”

Leviticus 27:12-27
The priest will set its value, whether high or low; the price will be set as the priest makes the assessment for you.If the one who brought it decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value.“ When a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, the priest will assess its value, whether high or low. The price will stand just as the priest assesses it.But if the one who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will be his.“ If a man consecrates to the Lord any part of a field that he possesses, your assessment of value will be proportional to the seed needed to sow it, at the rate of 50 silver shekels for every five bushels of barley seed.If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your assessment.But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your assessment will be reduced.If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him.But if he does not redeem the field or if he has sold it to another man, it is no longer redeemable.When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will be holy to the Lord like a field permanently set apart; it becomes the priest’s property.“ If a person consecrates to the Lord a field he has purchased that is not part of his inherited landholding,then the priest will calculate for him the amount of the assessment up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person will pay the assessed value on that day as a holy offering to the Lord.In the Year of Jubilee the field will return to the one he bought it from, the original owner.All your assessed values will be measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, 20 gerahs to the shekel.“ But no one can consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, whether an animal from the herd or flock, to the Lord, because a firstborn already belongs to the Lord.If it is one of the unclean livestock, it must be ransomed according to your assessment by adding a fifth of its value to it. If it is not redeemed, it can be sold according to your assessment.
