Leviticus 27

CLV(i) 1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 2 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them:In case anyone makes an extraordinary vow to Yahweh, involving your appraisal of human souls. 3 then your appraisal will be for the male from twenty years old unto sixty years old:your appraisal will be fifty shekels of silver, by the shekel of the holy place;" 4 and if she is a female, then your appraisal will be thirty shekels. 5 If he is from five years old unto twenty years old then your appraisal will be:for the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 If the person is from a month old unto five years old then your appraisal will be:for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your appraisal will be three shekels of silver. 7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward, if a male, then your appraisal will be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels. 8 Yet if he is too reduced by poverty for your appraisal then one will stand him before the priest, and the priest will appraise him. Corresponding to what the vower's means can afford shall the priest appraise him. 9 If the vow involves a domestic beast from which they bring near an approach present to Yahweh, all of what one gives to Yahweh, it shall be holy. 10 He shall not exchange it nor substitute for it, a good for a bad one or a bad for a good one. And if he should substitute, yea substitute beast for beast, then it has become holy; both it and its substitute shall be holy. 11 If the vow involves any unclean beast of which they may not bring near an approach present to Yahweh, then he will stand the beast before the priest, 12 and the priest will appraise it as good or bad; according to your appraisal, O priest, so shall it be. 13 If he should redeem, yea redeem it then he will add a fifth of its value over your appraisal. 14 In case a man sanctifies his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest will appraise it between good and bad. Just as the priest appraises it, so much shall it cost. 15 And if the one sanctifying should redeem his house, then he will add a fifth of the silver of your appraisal to it, and it will become his. 16 If a man should sanctify part of a field of his holding to Yahweh, then your appraisal will be corresponding to its seed, a homer of barley seed to fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he should sanctify his field from the year of the jubilee, according to your appraisal shall it cost. 18 Yet if he should sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest will compute the silver for him corresponding to the rest of the years until the year of the jubilee so a portion will be subtracted from your first appraisal. 19 And if the one sanctifying it should redeem, yea, redeem the field, then he will add a fifth of the silver of your appraisal to it, and it will belong to him. 20 But if he should not redeem the field or if he has sold the field to another man it shall not be redeemed again. 21 And the field, when it comes forth in the jubilee, will become holy to Yahweh as a devoted field; it shall become the priest's holding. 22 Yet if it is a field of his acquisition, which is not a field of his holding which he sanctifies to Yahweh, 23 then the priest will compute for him the assessment of your appraisal until the year of the jubilee; and he will pay your appraisal on that day as holy to Yahweh. 24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he acquired it, to him whose holding the land is. 25 All of your appraisals shall be by the shekel of the holy place:twenty gerahs shall there be to a shekel. 26 However the firstborn among beasts which as firstborn is devoted to Yahweh, no one may sanctify it; whether a bull or a flockling, it is already Yahweh's. 27 Yet if it is among the unclean beasts, then he will ransom it by your appraisal and add to it a fifth of its value. Should it not be redeemed, then it will be sold by your appraisal. 28 Every devoted thing which a man may devote to Yahweh, of all which is his of human and beast and of the field of his holding, it shall not be sold nor redeemed. Every devoted thing, it will be holy of holies to Yahweh. 29 Every doomed one which is doomed of humanity shall not be ransomed; he shall be put to death, yea death. 30 As for all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land and of the fruit of the tree, it is Yahweh's; it is holy to Yahweh. 31 And if a man should redeem, yea redeem any part of his tithe, a fifth of it shall he add to it. 32 All the tithe of the herd and the flock, all that passes under the club, a tenth shall become holy to Yahweh;" 33 he shall make no quest between good and bad nor substitute for it. And if he should substitute, yea substitute for it, then it has become holy; both it and its substitute shall be holy. It may not be redeemed. 34 These are the instructions with which Yahweh instructed Moses for the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.
