Leviticus 27:2 [1] Or explicit. A man could consecrate (dedicate) himself to the LORD or he could consecrate another family member, his house, his property, his animals, his field, or other possession. The priest set an established value on the person, animal, or property and the man paid the set amount instead of transferring ownership. Consecrating someone or something to the LORD was not the same as "devoting" or "setting apart" something to the LORD (see vv 21, 28).

Leviticus 27:28 [2] In OT times "devoting" or "setting apart" was a different and much more serious act than "consecrating" something or someone to God. The thing "devoted" belonged exclusively to God. It was an irrevocable command or vow. Anyone who kept for himself something that had been "devoted" or placed under a ban, placed himself under a sentence of death (JOS 7).
