inherited farm to the Ev1·:1z—L1v1Nc,it shall then be valued according to its acreage ; what takes a khomer of seed at fifty shekels of silver. But if he consecrates his farm before the year of ]ubi1ee, the priest shell then calcu- late for him the money on the basis of the years remaining until the year of jubilee, and equate the valuation.

Any- thing devoted, which is devoted by a man, which is unredeemable, shall be put to death. what is Eiilyalrlr. ‘ And all tithe of the land, from the

grain of the earth, from the fruit of the tree, is sacred to the Even- LIVING; but if a person redeems it, from tithe, he shall add one fifth to it. All tithe of cattle and sheep, all that passes under the measure for tithing, shall be sacred to the EVER- Llvmo.
