Discovery BoxLeviticus 27:11-13 
Context27:11 If what is vowed is an unclean animal from which an offering must not be presented to the Lord, then he must stand the animal before the priest, 27:12 and the priest will establish its conversion value, 1 whether good or bad. According to the assessed conversion value of the priest, thus it will be. 27:13 If, however, the person who made the vow redeems the animal, 2 he must add one fifth to 3 its conversion value.
1 tn Heb “and the priest shall cause it to be valued.” See the note on v. 8 above.
2 tn Heb “And if redeeming [infinitive absolute] he redeems it [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p. The referent of “he” (the person who made the vow) and “it” (the animal) have both been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “on,” meaning “on top of, in addition to” (likewise in v. 15).
