Leviticus 27:31-33
New English Translation
31 If a man redeems[a] part of his tithe, however, he must add one-fifth to it.[b] 32 All the tithe of herds or flocks, everything which passes under the rod, the tenth one will be holy to the Lord.[c] 33 The owner[d] must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it,[e] both the original animal[f] and its substitute will be holy[g] and must not be redeemed.’”

31 Whoever would redeem(A) any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value(B) to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod(C)—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.(D) If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.(E)’”
