Leviticus 27:1-15 ▼

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man makes a special vow in your valuation of persons to YHWH,

3 then your valuation has been of the male from a son of twenty years even to a son of sixty years, and your valuation has been fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the holy place.

4 And if it [is] a female, then your valuation has been thirty shekels;

5 and if from a son of five years even to a son of twenty years, then your valuation of the male has been twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;

6 and if from a son of a month even to a son of five years, then your valuation of the male has been five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation [is] three shekels of silver;

7 and if from a son of sixty years and above, if a male, then your valuation has been fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.

8 And if he is poorer than your valuation, then he has presented himself before the priest, and the priest has valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing reaches, the priest values him.

9 And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, all that [one] gives of it to YHWH is holy;

10 he does not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really exchanges beast for beast, then it has been [holy] and its exchange is holy.

11 And if [it is] any unclean beast of which they do not bring near [as] an offering to YHWH, then he has presented the beast before the priest,

12 and the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; according to your valuation, O priest, so it is;

13 and if he really redeems it, then he has added its fifth to your valuation.

14 And when a man sanctifies his house [as] a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest has valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it so it stands;

15 and if he who is sanctifying redeems his house, then he has added a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it has become his.
