Leviticus 27

1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man maketh a wonderful vow, by thy valuation the persons are Jehovah's.

3When thy valuation hath been of the male from a son of twenty years even unto a son of sixty years, then hath been thy valuation fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary.

4And if it is a female — then hath thy valuation been thirty shekels;

5and if from a son of five years even unto a son of twenty years — then hath thy valuation been of the male twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;

6and if from a son of a month even unto a son of five years — then hath thy valuation been of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation is three shekels of silver;

7and if from a son of sixty years and above — if a male, then hath thy valuation been fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.

8'And if he is poorer than thy valuation, then he hath presented himself before the priest, and the priest hath valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing doth reach doth the priest value him.

9And if it is a beast of which they bring near an offering to Jehovah, all that one giveth of it to Jehovah is holy;

10he doth not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really change beast for beast, — then it hath been — it and its exchange is holy.

11And if it is any unclean beast of which they do not bring near an offering to Jehovah, then he hath presented the beast before the priest,

12and the priest hath valued it; whether good or bad, according to thy valuation, O priest, so it is;

13and if he really redeem it, then he hath added its fifth to thy valuation.

14'And when a man sanctifieth his house, a holy thing to Jehovah, then hath the priest valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest doth value it so it standeth;

15and if he who is sanctifying doth redeem his house, then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath become his.

16'And if of the field of his possession a man sanctify to Jehovah, then hath thy valuation been according to its seed; a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;

17if from the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to thy valuation it standeth;

18and if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then hath the priest reckoned to him the money according to the years which are left, unto the year of the jubilee, and it hath been abated from thy valuation.

19And if he really redeem the field — he who is sanctifying it — then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath been established to him;

20and if he do not redeem the field, or if he hath sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed any more;

21and the field hath been, in its going out in the jubilee, holy to Jehovah as a field which is devoted; to the priest is its possession.

22And if the field of his purchase (which is not of the fields of his possession) one sanctify to Jehovah —

23then hath the priest reckoned to him the amount of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee, and he hath given thy valuation in that day — a holy thing to Jehovah;

24in the year of the jubilee the field returneth to him from whom he bought it, to him whose is the possession of the land.

25And all thy valuation is by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs is the shekel.

26Only, a firstling which is Jehovah's firstling among beasts — no man doth sanctify it, whether ox or sheep; it is Jehovah's.

27And if among the unclean beasts, then he hath ransomed it at thy valuation, and he hath added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it hath been sold at thy valuation.

28'Only, no devoted thing which a man devoteth to Jehovah, of all that he hath, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.

29'No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.

30And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's — holy to Jehovah.

31And if a man really redeem any of his tithe, its fifth he addeth to it.

32And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock — all that passeth by under the rod — the tenth is holy to Jehovah;

33he enquireth not between good and bad, nor doth he change it; and if he really change it — then it hath been — it and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.'

34These are the commands which Jehovah hath commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai.
