כָּל־חֵ֗רֶם אֲשֶׁ֧ר יָחֳרַ֛ם מִן־הָאָדָ֖ם לֹ֣א יִפָּדֶ֑ה מ֖וֹת יוּמָֽת׃

Anything proscribed with regard to people, captives of war who have been proscribed, or one who has been sentenced to death for political or halakhic reasons shall not be redeemed; he shall be put to death. This is referring to a human ḥerem , but there is also the ḥerem of an area or a city. In such cases all the objects go to Heaven, and they are prohibited for all benefit and earthly uses, and may not be redeemed or sold.

וְכָל־מַעְשַׂ֨ר הָאָ֜רֶץ מִזֶּ֤רַע הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ מִפְּרִ֣י הָעֵ֔ץ לַיהוָ֖ה ה֑וּא קֹ֖דֶשׁ לַֽיהוָֽה׃

All the tithe of the land, a tenth separated from the seed of the land, such as wheat or barley, or from the fruit of the tree, wine, oil, and possibly other types of fruit as well, is the Lord’s; it is sacred to the Lord. It may not be treated like other fruit, but must be eaten near the Temple in a state of ritual purity. The Sages call this the second tithe.

וְאִם־גָּאֹ֥ל יִגְאַ֛ל אִ֖ישׁ מִמַּֽעַשְׂר֑וֹ חֲמִשִׁית֖וֹ יֹסֵ֥ף עָלָֽיו׃

And if a man shall redeem from his tithe, if he wants to reacquire his tithe and be permitted to treat his produce like regular produce, he shall add one-fifth of it to it, like all who buy back their consecrated property from the Sanctuary.

וְכָל־מַעְשַׂ֤ר בָּקָר֙ וָצֹ֔אן כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲבֹ֖ר תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑בֶט הָֽעֲשִׂירִ֕י יִֽהְיֶה־קֹּ֖דֶשׁ לַֽיהוָֽה׃

In addition to the better-known tithe of produce, there is also an animal tithe: And all the tithe of cattle or the flock, any that passes under the rod, the herdsman’s staff, the tenth shall be sacred to the Lord. All herd and flock born during each year shall pass under the rod and be counted in that manner, and the herdsman shall mark every tenth animal.

לֹ֧א יְבַקֵּ֛ר בֵּֽין־ט֥וֹב לָרַ֖ע וְלֹ֣א יְמִירֶ֑נּוּ וְאִם־הָמֵ֣ר יְמִירֶ֔נּוּ וְהָֽיָה־ה֧וּא וּתְמוּרָת֛וֹ יִֽהְיֶה־קֹ֖דֶשׁ לֹ֥א יִגָּאֵֽל׃

He shall not distinguish between good and bad, nor shall he substitute it. The counting of the animals serves to establish which is the tithe. The animal that is counted as tenth is consecrated and cannot be exchanged. it must be sacrificed to God, while its meat is eaten by the owner in compliance with the halakhot of offerings. And if he substitutes it, it and its substitute shall be sacred, in accordance with the halakha of substitution stated above (verse 10); it shall not be redeemed. The tithe remains consecrated to God; one may not redeem it.

אֵ֣לֶּה הַמִּצְוֺ֗ת אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בְּהַ֖ר סִינָֽי׃

This verse concludes the book of Leviticus: These are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
