Leviticus 27

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord,

'Speak 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.

3 the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be his valuation shall be fifty didrachmas of silver by the standard of the sanctuary.

When 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.

4 And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachmas.

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

5 And if it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachmas, and of a female ten didrachmas.

and 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;

6 And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five didrachmas, and of a female, three didrachmas of silver.

and 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;

7 And if from sixty year [old] and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachmas of silver, and if a female, ten didrachmas.

and 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 the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.

'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.

9 And if it be from the cattle that are offered as a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it shall be holy.

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

10 He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall be holy.

he 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.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest.

'And 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,

12 And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

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

13 And if [the worshipper] will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value.

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

14 And whatever man shall consecrate his house as holy to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

'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;

15 And if he that has sanctified it should redeem his house, he shall add to it the fifth part of the money of the valuation, and it shall be his.

and 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 a man should hallow to the Lord a part of the field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its seed, fifty didrachmas of silver for a homer of barley.

'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;

17 And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation.

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

18 And if he should sanctify his field in the latter time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for the remaining years, until the [next] year of release, and it shall be deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation.

and 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.

19 And if he that sanctified the field would redeem it, he shall add to its value the fifth part of the money, and it shall be his.

'And 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;

20 And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it.

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

21 But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it.

and 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.

22 And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

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

23 the priest shall reckon to him the full valuation from the year of release, and he shall pay the valuation in that day [as] holy to the Lord.

then 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;

24 And in the year of release the land shall be restored to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the land was.

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

25 And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli.

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

26 And every firstborn which shall be produced amongst your cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or sheep, it is the Lord's.

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

27 But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its valuation.

And 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 And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord.

'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 And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death.

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

30 Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord.

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

31 And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his.

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

32 And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.

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

33 You shall not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if you should at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.

he 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.'

34 These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.

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