And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.

Douay-Rheims 1899

In The King James Version

None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

In Context

28Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.

30All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him.
