Leviticus 27:1-15 ▼

1 AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying.

2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them. When a man makes a special vow with the price of persons to the LORD,

3 Then the valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

4 And if it is a female, then her valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5 And if it is from five years old up to twenty years old, then the valuation of the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

6 And if it is from a month old up to five years old, then the valuation of males shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver.

7 And if it is from sixty years old and up, if it is a male, his valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

8 But if he is poorer than the valuation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of the person who vowed shall the priest value him.

9 And if it is an animal whereof men bring an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD shall be holy.

10 He shall not exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall at all exchange an animal for an animal, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy to the LORD.

11 And if it is an unclean animal of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest;

12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; and as the priest values it, so shall it be.

13 But if he wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part to its valuation.

14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad, and as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

15 And if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of the money of its estimation to it, and it shall be his.
