Leviticus 27

¹And Yhwh spoke to Moses, saying,

²Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When a man makes a special vow, according to your valuation of persons for the Lord.

³Your valuation for a male from twenty years old to sixty years old — your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver by the sanctuary shekel.

⁴But if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

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

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

⁷And if from sixty years old and above, if male, your valuation shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female, ten shekels.

⁸And if he is too poor for your valuation, he shall present him before the priest, and the priest shall value him according to what the hand of the one who vowed can afford; the priest shall value him.

⁹And if it is an animal from which one may present an offering to the LORD, whatever he gives from it to the LORD shall be holy.

¹⁰He shall not substitute it or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good; and if he does substitute one animal for another animal, then it and its substitute shall be holy.

¹¹And if it is any unclean animal from which one may not present an offering to the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest,

¹²And the priest shall value it, whether good or bad; according to your valuation, O priest, so shall it be.

¹³And if he does redeem it, he shall add a fifth to your valuation.

¹⁴And a man when he consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it between good and bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

¹⁵And if the one who consecrated it will redeem his house, he shall add a fifth of silver to your valuation, and it shall be his.

¹⁶And if a man dedicates to Yhwh a part of his field holding, your valuation shall be in proportion to its seed requirement — a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

¹⁷If from the year of the Jubilee he consecrates his field, according to your valuation it shall stand.

¹⁸But if after the jubilee he consecrates his field, then the priest shall calculate for him the silver according to the remaining years until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

¹⁹And if the one who dedicated it does redeem the field, he shall add a fifth of your valuation in silver to it, and it shall belong to him.

²⁰And if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.

²¹And when the field goes out in the jubilee, it shall be holy to Yhwh; like a devoted field it shall become the priest's holding.

²²And if the field of his purchase — which is not from the field of his patrimony — he consecrates for the Lord.

²³And the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation until the year of the jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day as holy to the LORD.

²⁴In the year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to the one to whom the patrimony of the land belongs.

²⁵And all your valuations shall be by the sanctuary shekel: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

²⁶But a firstborn that is reckoned as firstborn to the LORD among livestock — no one shall consecrate it; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD's.

²⁷And if it is an unclean animal, he shall redeem it at your valuation and add a fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at your valuation.

²⁸But every devoted thing that a man permanently devotes to the Lord, from everything that is his — whether human, animal, or from the field of his possession — shall not be sold and shall not be redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

²⁹Every devoted thing that is devoted from among humans shall not be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

³⁰And all the tithe of the land, whether from the seed of the land or from the fruit of the trees, belongs to Yhwh — it is holy to Yhwh.

³¹And if a man indeed redeems from his tithe, he shall add its one-fifth to it.

³²And all the tithe of cattle and flock — every tenth animal that passes under the rod — shall be holy to Yhwh.

³³He shall not examine whether it is good or bad, and he shall not exchange it; and if exchanging he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

³⁴These are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses to tell the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.
