Leviticus 27

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.

'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 If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight 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 If a woman, thirty.

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

5 But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.

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 From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.

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 A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.

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 If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.

'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 But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, 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 And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.

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 An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought 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 Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:

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

13 Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.

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

14 If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.

'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 But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.

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 he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.

'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 If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.

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

18 But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.

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 had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.

'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 will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:

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 For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.

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 If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,

'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 the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that 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 But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.

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 All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

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

26 The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are 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 And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.

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 Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies 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 any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.

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

30 All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.

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 any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.

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

32 Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd’s rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified 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 It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and 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 precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

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