Leviticus 27

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke 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 children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man make a particular vow, [to give] the estimated value of persons in honor of the Lord:

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.

If the estimated value concern a male from twenty years old, and unto sixty years old, then shall the estimation be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

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

And if it be a female, then shall the estimation be 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 [the person be] from five years old and unto twenty years old, then shall the estimation of the male be 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 [the person be] from a month old and unto five years old, then shall the estimation of the male be five shekels of silver, and for the female the estimation [shall be] 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 [the person be] from sixty years old and upward, if it be a male, then shall the estimation be fifteen shekels, and for the 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.

But if he be too poor for this estimation, then shall he present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability to pay of him that hath vowed shall 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 he a beast, whereof men can bring an offering unto the Lord, all that a man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be 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 shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad one, or a bad for a good one; and if he should change beast for beast, then shall it together with its exchange be 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 be any unclean beast, of which they cannot offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then shall he present 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 shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest valueth it, so shall it be.

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

And if he will redeem it, then shall he add a fifth part thereof unto the estimated value.

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 if a man sanctify his house as holy unto the Lord, then shall the priest value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest may value it, so shall it stand.

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 that sanctified it will redeem his house, then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it, and it shall remain 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 a man sanctify some part of a field of his possession unto the Lord, then shall the estimation be in proportion to its required seed: the seed of a chomer of barley 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 immediately after the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to this estimation shall it stand.

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.

But if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then shall the priest reckon unto him the money in proportion to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be deducted from the estimation.

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 that sanctified the field will redeem it, then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it, and it shall be assured 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.

But if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be 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.

But the field, when it is freed in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a devoted field: to the priest shall it belong as his 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 a man sanctify a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession, unto the Lord:

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 shall the priest reckon unto him the amount of the estimated value to the year of the jubilee; and he shall give this estimation on that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.

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 shall return unto him of whom he bought it, to the one to whom belongeth the possession of the land.

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

And all estimations of value shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

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

Only the first-born which shall, by being first born, be sacred unto the Lord among cattle, no man shall sanctify; whether it be ox, or lamb, it is the Lord'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 it be an unclean animal, then shall he redeem it according to the estimated value, and he shall add its fifth part thereto; and if it be not redeemed, then shall it be sold according to the estimated value.

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.

But any devoted thing, which a man may devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall not be sold nor redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.

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

Any one condemned, who shall be condemned to death among men, shall not be redeemed: he shall be 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 every tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, belongeth to the Lord; it is holy unto the Lord.

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 will redeem any part of his tithe, its fifth part shall he add thereto.

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 concerning the tithe of the herds, or of the flocks, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.

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

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

These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children on mount Sinai.
