Leviticus 27

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.

“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 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation 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 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

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

5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the 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 And if it be from a month old even unto 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.

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 And if it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the 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 be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him that 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 And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be 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 beast for beast, 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 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast 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 be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest 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 thereof unto thy estimation.

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

14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate 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 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto 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 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing thereof: 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 sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

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

18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubile, and an abatement shall be made from thy estimation.

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

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 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:

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 goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

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 And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath 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 unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

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

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

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

26 Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD’S.

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

27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

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 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.

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 None devoted, which shall be devoted of 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 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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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 the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

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