Leviticus 27

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man makes a special vow in your valuation of persons to YHWH,

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a difficult vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.

3 then your valuation has been of the male from a son of twenty years even to a son of sixty years, and your valuation has been fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the holy place.

And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

4 And if it [is] a female, then your valuation has been thirty shekels;

And if it shall be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

5 and if from a son of five years even to a son of twenty years, then your valuation of the male has been twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;

And if it shall be from five years old even to twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

6 and if from a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your valuation of the male has been five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation [is] three shekels of silver;

And if it shall be from a month old even to five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

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

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

8 And if he is poorer than your valuation, then he has presented himself before the priest, and the priest has valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing reaches, the priest values him.

But if he shall be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

9 And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, all that [one] gives of it to YHWH is holy;

And if it shall be a beast, of which men bring an offering to the LORD, all that any man giveth of such to the LORD shall be holy.

10 he does not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really exchanges beast for beast, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is 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 beast for beast, then it and the exchange of it shall be holy.

11 And if [it is] any unclean beast of which they do not bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, then he has presented the beast before the priest,

And if it shall be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

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

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

13 and if he really redeems it, then he has added its fifth to your valuation.

But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part of it to thy estimation.

14 And when a man sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands;

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

15 and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his.

And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be his.

16 And if a man sanctifies to YHWH from a field of his possession, then your valuation has been according to its seed—a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;

And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed of it: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17 if he sanctifies his field from the Year of the Jubilee, according to your valuation it stands;

If he shall sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

18 and if he sanctifies his field after the Jubilee, then the priest has reckoned the money to him according to the years which are left, to the Year of the Jubilee, and it has been diminished from your valuation.

But if he shall sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

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

And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.

20 and if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed anymore;

And if he will not redeem the field, or if he shall have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 and the field has been, in its going out in the Jubilee, holy to YHWH as a field which is devoted; his possession is for the priest.

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession of it shall be the priest’s.

22 And if he sanctifies a field of his purchase to YHWH, which [is] not of the fields of his possession,

And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

23 then the priest has reckoned to him the amount of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and he has given your valuation in that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH;

Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of thy estimation, even to the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thy estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the LORD.

24 in the Year of the Jubilee the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him who [has] the possession of the land.

In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belonged.

25 And all your valuation is by the shekel of the holy place: the shekel is twenty gerahs.

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

26 Only, a firstling which is YHWH’s firstling among beasts—no man sanctifies it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] YHWH’s.

Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD’S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether ox, or sheep: it is the LORD’S.

27 And if [from] among the unclean beast, then he has ransomed [it] at your valuation, and he has added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it has been sold at your valuation.

And if it shall be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thy estimation, and shall add to it a fifth part of it: or if it shall be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

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

However no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.

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

None devoted, which shall be devoted by men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is YHWH’s; [it is] holy to YHWH.

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’S: it is holy to the LORD.

31 And if a man really redeems [any] of his tithe, he adds its fifth to it.

And if a man will at all redeem any of his tithes, he shall add to it the fifth part of it.

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

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD.

33 he does not inquire between good and bad, nor does he exchange it; and if he really exchanges it, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.”

He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he shall change it at all, then both it and its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

34 These [are] the commands which YHWH has commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
