SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:27
Mas si fuere de los animales inmundos, lo redimirán conforme a tu estimación, y añadirán sobre ella su quinto; y si no lo redimieren, se venderá conforme a tu estimación.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And if [it be] of an unclean beast , etc.] This is to be understood, not of the firstling of unclean creatures in common, which were to be redeemed with a lamb, and not with money, according to the estimation of the priest, and a fifth part added to that; but of such as were sanctified, or vowed, for the reparation of the sanctuary, as Jarchi notes: then he shall redeem [it] according to thine estimation ; the price the priest should set upon it, how much it was worth in his judgment: and shall add a fifth [part] of it thereto ; to the price, set upon a fifth part of that over and above the sum; this the sanctifier, or he that made the vow, was obliged to pay, if he thought fit to redeem it: or if it be not redeemed ; by him, he does not choose to give the price, and the fifth part: then it shall be sold according to thy estimation ; to another man, without the fifth part, that chooses to purchase it, and then the purchase money was laid out for sacred uses.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-33 - Things or persons devoted, are distinguished from things or person that were only sanctified. Devoted things were most holy to the Lord and could neither be taken back nor applied to other purposes. Whateve productions they had the benefit, God must be honoured with the tent of, if it could be applied. Thus they acknowledge God to be the Owne of their land, the Giver of its fruits, and themselves to be his tenants, and dependants upon him. Thus they gave him thanks for the plenty they enjoyed, and besought his favour in the continuance of it We are taught to honour the Lord with our substance.
