Leviticus 27

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When any one devoteth [anything] by a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah according to thy valuation.

“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to Adonai in a vow, according to your valuation,

3 And thy valuation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old: thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary;

your valuation of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels [1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g).

4 and if it be of a female, thy valuation shall be thirty shekels.

If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels [12 oz; 3/4 lb; 340.2 g].

5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, thy valuation of the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels [8 oz; 1/2 lb; 226.8 g], and for a female ten shekels [4 oz; 113.4 g].

6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, thy valuation of the male shall be five shekels of silver; and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels [2 oz; 56.7 g] of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

7 And if it be from sixty years old and above, if it be a male, thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female ten shekels.

If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels [6 oz; 170.1 g], and for a female ten shekels [4 oz; 113.4 g].

8 And if he be poorer than thy valuation, he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him: according to his means that vowed shall the priest value him.

But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay.

9 And if it be a beast whereof men bring an offering unto Jehovah, all that they give of such unto Jehovah shall be holy.

“‘If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Adonai, all that any man gives of such to Adonai becomes holy.

10 They shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not bring an offering unto Jehovah, then he shall present the beast before the priest;

If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Adonai, then he shall set the animal before the priest;

12 and the priest shall value it, [judging] between good and bad: according to the valuation of the priest, so shall it be.

and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be.

13 And if they will in any wise redeem it, then they shall add a fifth [part] thereof unto thy valuation.

But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.

14 And when any one halloweth his house, that it may be holy to Jehovah, the priest shall value it, [judging] between good and bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

“‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Adonai, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.

15 And if he that halloweth it will redeem his house, he shall add the fifth of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his.

If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

16 And if a man hallow to Jehovah [part] of a field of his possession, thy valuation shall be according to what may be sown in it: the homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

“‘If a man dedicates to Adonai part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homer [6.33 bushels; 59 gal; 220 L] of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels [1.25 lb; 0.57 kg] of silver.

17 If he hallow his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation shall it stand;

If he dedicates his field from the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·, according to your valuation it shall stand.

18 but if he hallow his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee; and there shall be a reduction from thy valuation.

But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee ·Shofar·, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.

19 And if he that hallowed the field will in any wise redeem it, he shall add the fifth of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured to him;

If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.

20 but if he do not redeem the field, or if he sell the field to another man, it cannot be redeemed any more;

If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;

21 and the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee ·Shofar·, shall be holy to Adonai, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests.

22 And if he hallow to Jehovah a field that he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession,

“‘If he dedicates a field to Adonai which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

23 the priest shall reckon unto him the amount of thy valuation, unto the year of the jubilee; and he shall give thy valuation on that day, [as] holy to Jehovah.

then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year·; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Adonai.

24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought — to him to whom the land belonged.

In the Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year· the field shall teshuvah ·completely return· to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.

25 And all thy valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: the shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g; or called twenty gerahs [20/50 of an oz].

26 Only the firstling which is offered as firstling to Jehovah among the cattle, that shall no man hallow, whether it be ox or sheep; it is Jehovah's.

“‘Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Adonai, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep. It is Adonai’s.

27 But if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thy valuation, and shall add a fifth of it thereto; and if it be not redeemed, it shall be sold according to thy valuation.

If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man hath devoted to Jehovah of all that he hath, of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.

“‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to Adonai of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Adonai.

29 Nothing devoted, which shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed: it shall certainly be put to death.

“‘No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30 And as to every tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of the tree, it is Jehovah's: it is holy to Jehovah.

“‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Adonai’s. It is holy to Adonai.

31 And if any one will at all redeem of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth thereof.

If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.

32 And as to every tithe of the herd, or of the flock, of whatever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Jehovah.

All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Adonai.

33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and the exchange thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it. If he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

34 These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel upon mount Sinai.

These are the mitzvot ·instructions· which Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out] for the children of Israel [God prevails] on Mount Sinai [Thorn].
