SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:31

Y si alguno quisiere redimir algo de sus diezmos, añadirá su quinto a ello.

---

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. And if a man, will redeem [ought] of his tithes , etc.] Of his own, and not his neighbour’s, as Jarchi observes; for if he redeemed the tithes of his neighbour, but did not add a fifth part, which he was obliged to do if he redeemed his own, as follows: he shall add thereunto the fifth [part] thereof ; besides giving the value for what part of his tithes he redeemed, he gave a fifth part of that sum over and above; as, supposing the tithe was worth fifty shillings, then he gave that, and ten shillings more, and so in proportion. The use of this redemption, as Jarchi suggests, was, that he might have liberty of eating it in any place: for he understands it of the second tithe, as before observed, and which was to be eaten at Jerusalem.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 26-33 - Things or persons devoted, are distinguished from things or person that were only sanctified. Devoted things were most holy to the Lord and could neither be taken back nor applied to other purposes. Whateve productions they had the benefit, God must be honoured with the tent of, if it could be applied. Thus they acknowledge God to be the Owne of their land, the Giver of its fruits, and themselves to be his tenants, and dependants upon him. Thus they gave him thanks for the plenty they enjoyed, and besought his favour in the continuance of it We are taught to honour the Lord with our substance.
