Leviticus 27

1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by your valuation.

“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,

3 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

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.

4 If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

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

5 If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

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;

6 If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

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;

7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

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.

8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.

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.

9 "'If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Jehovah, all that any man gives of such to Jehovah becomes holy.

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;

10 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.

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.

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

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,

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

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

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

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

14 "'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Jehovah, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.

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;

15 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.

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.

16 "'If a man dedicates to Jehovah part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

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;

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

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

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

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.

19 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.

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;

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

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

21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests.

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.

22 "'If he dedicates to Jehovah a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

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

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

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;

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

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.

25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.

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

26 "'Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Jehovah, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's.

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

27 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 isn't redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

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.

28 "'Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to Jehovah 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 Jehovah.

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.

29 "'No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

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

30 "'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Jehovah's. It is holy to Jehovah.

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.

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

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

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

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

33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"

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.”

34 These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

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