1	The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses:	The LORD said to Moses,
2	“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, If anyone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the valuation of persons,	Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When anyone makes a vow to the LORD with respect to the value of a human being,	“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the LORD by giving the equivalent value,
3	then the valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.	the value for males between the ages of twenty and sixty shall be fifty silver shekels, by the sanctuary shekel;	set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel;
4	If the person is a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels.	and for a female, the value shall be thirty shekels.	for a female, set her value at thirty shekels;
5	If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.	For persons between the ages of five and twenty, the value for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.	for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels;
6	If the person is from a month old up to five years old, the valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female the valuation shall be three shekels of silver.	For persons between the ages of one month and five years, the value for a male shall be five silver shekels, and for a female, three shekels.	for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver;
7	And if the person is sixty years old or over, then the valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.	For persons of sixty or more, for a male the value shall be fifteen shekels, and ten shekels for a female.	for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels and of a female at ten shekels.
8	And if someone is too poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to what the vower can afford.	However, if the one who made the vow is too poor to meet the sum, the person must be set before the priest, who shall determine a value; the priest will do this in keeping with the means of the one who made the vow.	If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.
9	“If the vow is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the LORD, all of it that he gives to the LORD is holy.	If the offering vowed to the LORD is an animal that may be sacrificed, every such animal given to the LORD becomes sacred.	“’If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the LORD, such an animal given to the LORD becomes holy.
10	He shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it and the substitute shall be holy.	The offerer shall not substitute or exchange another for it, either a worse or a better one. If the offerer exchanges one animal in place of another, both the original and its substitute shall become sacred.	They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy.
11	And if it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the LORD, then he shall stand the animal before the priest,	If any unclean animal which is unfit for sacrifice to the LORD is vowed, it must be set before the priest,	If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal—one that is not acceptable as an offering to the LORD—the animal must be presented to the priest,
12	and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be.	who shall determine its value in keeping with its good or bad qualities, and the value set by the priest shall stand.	who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be.
13	But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation.	If the offerer wishes to redeem the animal, the person shall pay one fifth more than this valuation.	If the owner wishes to redeem the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.
14	“When a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the LORD, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.	When someone dedicates a house as sacred to the LORD, the priest shall determine its value in keeping with its good or bad qualities, and the value set by the priest shall stand.	“’If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the LORD, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain.
15	And if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth to the valuation price, and it shall be his.	A person dedicating a house who then wishes to redeem it shall pay one fifth more than the price thus established, and then it will again belong to that individual.	If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.
16	“If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the land that is his possession, then the valuation shall be in proportion to its seed. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.	If someone dedicates to the LORD a portion of hereditary land, its valuation shall be made according to the amount of seed required to sow it, the acreage sown with a homer of barley seed being valued at fifty silver shekels.	“’If anyone dedicates to the LORD part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed.
17	If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, the valuation shall stand,	If the dedication of a field is made at the beginning of a jubilee period, the full valuation shall hold;	If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains.
18	but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from the valuation.	but if it is some time after this, the priest shall estimate its money value according to the number of years left until the next jubilee year, with a corresponding reduction on the valuation.	But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced.
19	And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price, and it shall remain his.	A person dedicating a field who then wishes to redeem it shall pay one fifth more than the price thus established, and so reclaim it.	If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs.
20	But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.	If, instead of redeeming such a field, one sells it to another, it may no longer be redeemed;	If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed.
21	But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the LORD, like a field that has been devoted. The priest shall be in possession of it.	but at the jubilee it shall be released as sacred to the LORD; like a field that is put under the ban, it shall become priestly property.	When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it will become priestly property.
22	If he dedicates to the LORD a field that he has bought, which is not a part of his possession,	If someone dedicates to the LORD a field that was purchased and was not part of hereditary property,	“’If anyone dedicates to the LORD a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land,
23	then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the LORD.	the priest shall compute its value in proportion to the number of years until the next jubilee, and on the same day the person shall pay the price thus established, a sacred donation to the LORD;	the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the LORD.
24	In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession.	at the jubilee the field shall revert to the hereditary owner of this land from whom it had been purchased.	In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought, the one whose land it was.
25	Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.	Every valuation shall be made according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel. There are twenty gerahs to the shekel.	Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26	“But a firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s.	Note that a firstborn animal, which as such already belongs to the LORD, may not be dedicated. Whether an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.	“’No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the LORD; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.
27	And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation.	But if it is an unclean animal, it may be redeemed by paying one fifth more than its value. If it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at its value.	If it is one of the unclean animals, it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.
28	“But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.	Note, also, that any possession which someone puts under the ban for the LORD, whether it is a human being, an animal, or a hereditary field, shall be neither sold nor redeemed; everything that is put under the ban becomes most holy to the LORD.	“’But nothing that a person owns and devotes to the LORD—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.
29	No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.	All human beings that are put under the ban cannot be redeemed; they must be put to death.	“’No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.
30	“Every 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.	All tithes of the land, whether in grain from the fields or in fruit from the trees, belong to the LORD; they are sacred to the LORD.	“’A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
31	If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.	If someone wishes to redeem any of the tithes, the person shall pay one fifth more than their value.	Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it.
32	And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the LORD.	The tithes of the herd and the flock, every tenth animal that passes under the herdsman’s rod, shall be sacred to the LORD.	Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the LORD.
33	One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”	It shall not matter whether good ones or bad ones are thus chosen, and no exchange may be made. If any exchange is made, both the original animal and its substitute become sacred and cannot be redeemed.	No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’”
34	These are the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.	These are the commandments which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.	These are the commands the LORD gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
