Every valuation
This phrase refers to the process of determining the worth or value of something, particularly in the context of vows or dedications made to God. In ancient Israel, valuations were often necessary for offerings, tithes, or vows. The Hebrew root for "valuation" is "ערך" (erekh), which implies an estimation or assessment. This reflects the importance of fairness and consistency in religious and communal obligations, ensuring that each offering is measured by a standard that is recognized and respected by all.

will be according to
This phrase indicates a standard or guideline that must be followed. In the context of Leviticus, it underscores the necessity of adhering to divine instructions. The Hebrew preposition "ל" (le) often denotes direction or adherence, emphasizing that the valuation process is not arbitrary but is to be conducted in alignment with God's established order.

the sanctuary shekel
The "sanctuary shekel" was a specific weight and monetary standard used in the tabernacle and later the temple. The Hebrew word "שקל" (shekel) refers to a unit of weight and currency. The sanctuary shekel was likely heavier and more valuable than the common shekel, signifying the sacredness and higher standard required for offerings dedicated to God. This standardization ensured that all contributions to the sanctuary were equitable and honored the holiness of the place where God dwelt among His people.

twenty gerahs to the shekel
A "gerah" is a smaller unit of weight, and the specification of "twenty gerahs to the shekel" provides a precise measurement for the sanctuary shekel. The Hebrew word "גרה" (gerah) indicates a small weight, and this conversion rate highlights the meticulous nature of God's instructions. By defining the shekel in terms of gerahs, the scripture ensures clarity and uniformity in religious practices. This precision reflects God's desire for order and integrity in worship, reminding believers of the importance of accuracy and honesty in their commitments to Him.

(25) According to the shekel of the sanctuary.--As the proceeds of these vows were devoted to the maintenance and repair of the sanctuary, all the valuations are to be made and paid according to the standard weight of the sanctuary shekel. (See Exodus 30:13.)

Verse 25. - The estimation is to be made according to the shekel of the sanctuary, that is, the shekel at its full value, before worn by use in traffic (see Exodus 30:13; Numbers 3:47; Numbers 18:16).
