Leviticus 27:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When someone makes a special vow to the LORD that involves the assessment of people,

3 if the assessment concerns a male from twenty to sixty years old, your assessment is fifty silver shekels measured by the standard sanctuary shekel.

4 If the person is a female, your assessment is thirty shekels.

5 If the person is from five to twenty years old, your assessment for a male is twenty shekels and for a female ten shekels.

6 If 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.

7 If the person is sixty years or more, your assessment is fifteen shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.

8 But if one is too poor to pay the assessment, he is to 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.
