Leviticus 27

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man maketh a wonderful vow, by thy valuation the persons [are] Jehovah's.

Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man who will have made a vow and espoused his soul to God shall give the price according to the estimation.

3 When thy valuation hath been of the male from a son of twenty years even unto a son of sixty years, then hath been thy valuation fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary.

If it is a male from twenty years to sixty years, he shall give fifty shekels of silver, by the measure of the Sanctuary;

4 And if it [is] a female — then hath thy valuation been thirty shekels;

if it is a woman, thirty.

5 and if from a son of five years even unto a son of twenty years — then hath thy valuation been of the male twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;

But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a male shall give twenty shekels; a female, ten.

6 and if from a son of a month even unto a son of five years — then hath thy valuation been of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation [is] three shekels of silver;

From one month until the fifth year, for a male, five shekels shall be given; for a female, three.

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

At sixty years and beyond, a male shall give fifteen shekels; a female, ten.

8 'And if he is poorer than thy valuation, then he hath presented himself before the priest, and the priest hath valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing doth reach doth the priest value him.

If he is poor, and he does not have the means to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest, and however much he will value him and see that he is able to pay, so much shall he give.

9 'And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near an offering to Jehovah, all that [one] giveth of it to Jehovah is holy;

But an animal which could be immolated to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be holy,

10 he doth not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really change beast for beast, — then it hath been — it and its exchange is holy.

and it cannot be exchanged, that is, neither better for worse, nor worse for better. And if he has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged shall be consecrated to the Lord.

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

An unclean animal which could not be sacrificed to the Lord, if anyone has vowed it, shall be led before the priest,

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

who, judging whether it is either good or bad, shall set the price.

13 and if he really redeem it, then he hath added its fifth to thy valuation.

But if he who offers it was willing to give, he shall add a fifth part above the estimation.

14 'And when a man sanctifieth his house, a holy thing to Jehovah, then hath the priest valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest doth value it so it standeth;

If a man has vowed his house, and he has sanctified it to the Lord, the priest shall examine it, whether it is good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price which he will have established.

15 and if he who is sanctifying doth redeem his house, then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath become his.

But if he who vowed it was willing to redeem it, he shall give a fifth part beyond the estimation, and he shall have the house.

16 'And if of the field of his possession a man sanctify to Jehovah, then hath thy valuation been according to its seed; a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;

But if he has vowed a field of his possession, and has consecrated it to the Lord, the price shall be estimated according to the measure of the seed. If the land would be sown with thirty measures of barley, then let it be sold for fifty shekels of silver.

17 if from the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to thy valuation it standeth;

If he has vowed his field beginning from the current year of Jubilee, as much as it may be worth, so shall it be estimated.

18 and if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then hath the priest reckoned to him the money according to the years which are left, unto the year of the jubilee, and it hath been abated from thy valuation.

But if, after some amount of time, the priest shall evaluate the money according to the number of years that remain until the Jubilee, then the price shall be reduced.

19 'And if he really redeem the field — he who is sanctifying it — then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath been established to him;

But if he who had vowed it, was willing to redeem his field, he shall add a fifth part of the money to the estimation, and then he shall possess it.

20 and if he do not redeem the field, or if he hath sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed any more;

But if he is not willing to redeem it, then it shall be sold to any other; he who vowed it is no longer able to redeem it.

21 and the field hath been, in its going out in the jubilee, holy to Jehovah as a field which is devoted; to the priest is its possession.

For when the day of Jubilee arrives, it shall be sanctified to the Lord. And as a possession that has been consecrated, it rightfully belongs to the priest.

22 'And if the field of his purchase (which [is] not of the fields of his possession) [one] sanctify to Jehovah —

If a field has been bought, and it is not from the possession of ancestors, it shall be sanctified to the Lord.

23 then hath the priest reckoned to him the amount of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee, and he hath given thy valuation in that day — a holy thing to Jehovah;

The priest shall evaluate the price according to the number of years until the Jubilee; and the one who had vowed it shall give to the Lord.

24 in the year of the jubilee the field returneth to him from whom he bought it, to him whose [is] the possession of the land.

Then, in the Jubilee, it shall be returned to the former owner, the one who had sold it and who had held it within the lot of his possession.

25 And all thy valuation is by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs is the shekel.

All estimation shall be weighed according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.

26 'Only, a firstling which is Jehovah's firstling among beasts — no man doth sanctify it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] Jehovah's.

The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no one is able to sanctify or vow, whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they are for the Lord.

27 And if among the unclean beasts, then he hath ransomed [it] at thy valuation, and he hath added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it hath been sold at thy valuation.

But if it is an unclean animal, whoever offers it shall redeem it, according to your estimation, and he shall add a fifth part to the price. If he is not willing to redeem it, it shall be sold to another for whatever amount it was estimated by you.

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

All that is consecrated to the Lord, whether it is a man, or an animal, or a field, shall not be sold; neither is it able to be redeemed. Anything, once it has been consecrated, shall be the Holy of holies to the Lord.

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

And all that has been consecrated, which is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but shall surely die.

30 And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's — holy to Jehovah.

All the tithes of the land, whether from the grain, or from the fruits of trees, are for the Lord and are sanctified to him.

31 'And if a man really redeem [any] of his tithe, its fifth he addeth to it.

But if anyone is willing to redeem his tithes, he shall add a fifth part to them.

32 'And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock — all that passeth by under the rod — the tenth is holy to Jehovah;

Out of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, which cross under the rod of the shepherd, every tenth one that arrives shall be sanctified to the Lord.

33 he enquireth not between good and bad, nor doth he change it; and if he really change it — then it hath been — it and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.'

It shall not be chosen by what is good or bad; neither shall it be exchanged for another. If anyone has exchanged it, both that which was exchanged, and that for which it was exchanged, shall be sanctified to the Lord and shall not be redeemed.

34 These [are] the commands which Jehovah hath commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai.

These are the precepts, which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on mount Sinai.
