Leviticus 27:30-33
New King James Version
30 And (A)all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s. It is holy to the Lord. 31 (B)If a man wants at all to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth to it. 32 And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, of whatever (C)passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord. 33 He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, (D)nor shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.’ ”

New International Version
30 “‘A tithe(A) of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy(B) to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem(C) any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value(D) to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod(E)—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.(F) If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.(G)’”

New King James Version
Tithes for Support of the Levites
21 “Behold, (A)I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as [a]an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, (B)the work of the tabernacle of meeting. 22 (C)Hereafter the children of Israel shall not come near the tabernacle of meeting, (D)lest they bear sin and die. 23 But the Levites shall perform the work of the tabernacle of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a statute forever, throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. 24 For the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer up as a heave offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites [b]as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’ ”

21 “I give to the Levites all the tithes(A) in Israel as their inheritance(B) in return for the work they do while serving at the tent of meeting.(C) 22 From now on the Israelites must not go near the tent of meeting, or they will bear the consequences of their sin and will die.(D) 23 It is the Levites who are to do the work at the tent of meeting and bear the responsibility for any offenses they commit against it. This is a lasting ordinance(E) for the generations to come.(F) They will receive no inheritance(G) among the Israelites.(H) 24 Instead, I give to the Levites as their inheritance the tithes that the Israelites present as an offering to the Lord.(I) That is why I said concerning them: ‘They will have no inheritance among the Israelites.’”
