| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD spoke to Moses: " |
| 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. | 2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When someone makes a special vow to the LORD that involves the assessment of people, |
| 3And 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. | 3if the assessment concerns a male from 20 to 60 years old, your assessment is 50 silver shekels measured by the standard sanctuary shekel. |
| 4And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. | 4If the person is a female, your assessment is 30 shekels. |
| 5And 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. | 5If the person is from five to 20 years old, your assessment for a male is 20 shekels and for a female 10 shekels. |
| 6And 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. | 6If the person is from one month to five years old, your assessment for a male is five silver shekels, and for a female your assessment is three shekels of silver. |
| 7And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. | 7If the person is 60 years or more, your assessment is 15 shekels for a male and 10 shekels for a female. |
| 8But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. | 8But if one is too poor to pay the assessment, he must present the person before the priest and the priest will set a value for him. The priest will set a value for him according to what the one making the vow can afford." |
| 9And 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. | 9If the vow involves one of the animals that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any of these he gives to the LORD will be holy. |
| 10He 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 it and the exchange thereof shall be holy. | 10He may not replace it or make a substitution for it, either good for bad, or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy." |
| 11And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest: | 11If the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the LORD, the animal must be presented before the priest. |
| 12And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be. | 12The priest will set its value, whether high or low; the price will be set as the priest makes the assessment for you. |
| 13But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. | 13If the one who brought it decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value." |
| 14And 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. | 14When a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest will assess its value, whether high or low. The price will stand just as the priest assesses it. |
| 15And 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. | 15But if the one who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will be his." |
| 16And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. | 16If a man consecrates to the LORD any part of a field that he possesses, your assessment of value will be proportional to the seed needed to sow it, at the rate of 50 silver shekels for every five bushels of barley seed. |
| 17If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand. | 17If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your assessment. |
| 18But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation. | 18But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your assessment will be reduced. |
| 19And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. | 19If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him. |
| 20And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. | 20But if he does not redeem the field or if he has sold it to another man, it is no longer redeemable. |
| 21But 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. | 21When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will be holy to the LORD like a field permanently set apart; it becomes the priest's property." |
| 22And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; | 22If a person consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased that is not part of his inherited landholding, |
| 23Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD. | 23then the priest will calculate for him the amount of the assessment up to the Year of Jubilee, and the person will pay the assessed value on that day as a holy offering to the LORD. |
| 24In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong. | 24In the Year of Jubilee the field will return to the one he bought it from, the original owner. |
| 25And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. | 25All your assessed values will be measured by the standard sanctuary shekel, 20 gerahs to the shekel." |
| 26Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD'S. | 26But no one can consecrate a firstborn of the livestock, whether an animal from the herd or flock, to the LORD, because a firstborn already belongs to the LORD. |
| 27And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. | 27If it is one of the unclean livestock, it must be ransomed according to your assessment by adding a fifth of its value to it. If it is not redeemed, it can be sold according to your assessment." |
| 28Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. | 28Nothing that a man permanently sets apart to the LORD from all he owns, whether a person, an animal, or his inherited landholding, can be sold or redeemed; everything set apart is especially holy to the LORD. |
| 29None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. | 29No person who has been set apart for destruction is to be ransomed; he must be put to death." |
| 30And 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. | 30Every tenth of the land's produce, grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. |
| 31And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. | 31If a man decides to redeem any part of this tenth, he must add a fifth to its value. |
| 32And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. | 32Every tenth animal from the herd or flock, which passes under the shepherd's rod, will be holy to the LORD. |
| 33He 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 the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. | 33He is not to inspect whether it is good or bad, and he is not to make a substitution for it. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute will be holy; they cannot be redeemed." |
| 34These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. | 34These are the commands the LORD gave Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai. |
