12

And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.

13

But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value.

And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.
