2 |Tell the Israelites: If any of you makes a special vow [to give a person] to the LORD, you may give money instead of the person. “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 say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the LORD by giving the equivalent value,
3 The amount you must give for a man from 20 to 60 years old is 20 ounces of silver.

8 But the person who is too poor to pay the required amount must stand in front of the priest. The priest will determine the amount based on what the person can afford. 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. 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 to give the kind of animal that people offer to the LORD, it will be considered holy. “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 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 Don't exchange or substitute animals, a good one for a bad one or a bad one for a good one. If you do exchange one animal for another, then both animals will be holy. 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. 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 If it is an unclean animal that cannot be brought to the LORD as an offering, bring it in front of the priest. 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 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 The priest will determine what its value is. The value will be whatever the priest decides. and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be. who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be.

14 |If you give your house to the LORD as something holy, the priest will determine what its value is. The value will be whatever the priest decides. “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. “’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 If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more. And if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth to the valuation price, and it shall be his.

16 |If a person gives part of a field to the LORD as something holy, its value will be based on the seed planted on it. Ground planted with 2 quarts of barley will be worth 20 ounces of silver. “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 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.

18 But if you give the field after the jubilee year, the priest will estimate its value based on the number of years left until the next jubilee year. 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 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 If you want to buy it back, you must pay its full value plus one-fifth more.

20 But if you don't buy it back and it is sold to someone else, you cannot buy it back. 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, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed.
21 When the field is released in the jubilee year, it will be holy like a field claimed by the LORD. It will become the property of the priest. 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. 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 You may give a field you bought (not one that was a part of your family property) to the LORD as something holy.

23 The priest must figure out the field's value until the jubilee year. You will pay its value on that day as something holy, belonging to the LORD. 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 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 jubilee year the field will go back to the person from whom it was bought, to whom it belongs as family property.

26 |A firstborn animal already belongs to the LORD because it was born first. Therefore, it cannot be set apart as holy. Whether it is a bull or a sheep, it belongs to the LORD. “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. “’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 But if it is an unclean animal, it must be bought back. The payment will be its full value plus one-fifth more. If it is not bought back, it must be sold at the value given it. 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. 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 |However, everything dedicated to the LORD for destruction-a person, an animal, or a field that belongs to you-must not be sold or bought back. Everything dedicated in that way is very holy. It belongs to the LORD. “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. “’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 People dedicated this way cannot be bought back. They must be put to death. No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. “’No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.
30 |One-tenth of what comes from the land, whether grain or fruit, is holy and belongs to the LORD. “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. “’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 you buy back any part of it, you must add one-fifth more to it. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it.
32 Every tenth head of cattle or sheep that you counted is holy and belongs to the LORD. 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. Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the LORD.
33 You must not look to see if it is good or bad or exchange it. But if you do exchange it, both the first animal and its substitute will be holy. They cannot be bought back.| 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.” 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 commands the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites. These are the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai. These are the commands the LORD gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
