Leviticus 27

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

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

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When a man shall clearly utter a vow of persons unto the LORD, according to thy valuation,

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 thy valuation shall be for the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

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

And if it be a female, then thy valuation shall be 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 it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male 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 it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation shall be 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 it be from sixty years old and upward: if it be a male, then thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

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

But if he be too poor for thy valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the means of him that vowed shall the priest value him.

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

And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be 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 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 both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

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

And if it be any unclean beast, of which they may not bring an offering unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast before the priest.

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

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

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

But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy valuation.

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

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

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 that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his.

16 "'If a man dedicates to the LORD 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 shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy valuation shall be according to the sowing thereof; the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued 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 sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation it shall stand.

18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the cohen 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.

But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee, and an abatement shall be made from thy 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 that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured 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 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, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the cohanim.

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

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

And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession;

23 then the cohen 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 the LORD.

then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee; and he shall give thy valuation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

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 jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth.

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

And all thy valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

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

Howbeit the firstling among beasts, which is born as a firstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD'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 it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thy valuation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy valuation.

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

Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man may devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.

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

None devoted, that may be devoted of men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be 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 the LORD's. It is holy to the LORD.

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 unto the LORD.

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

And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof.

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

And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

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 shall not inquire whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change 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 the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

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