Context
Redemption of the Tithe
27:30 “‘Any tithe of the land , from the grain of the land or from the fruit of the trees , belongs to the Lord ; it is holy to the Lord .
27:31 If a man redeems part of his tithe , however, he must add one fifth to it.
27:32 All the tithe of herd or flock , everything which passes under the rod , the tenth one will be holy to the Lord .
27:33 The owner must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad , and he must not exchange it. If , however, he does exchange it, both the original animal and its substitute will be holy . It must not be redeemed .’”
Final Colophon
27:34 These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses to tell the Israelites at Mount Sinai .
