< Leviticus 27 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall vow a vow as the valuation of his soul for the Lord,
Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by thy estimation.
3 the valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be his valuation shall be fifty didrachms of silver by the standard of the sanctuary.
And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachms.
And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it be from five years old to twenty, the valuation of a male shall be twenty didrachms, and of a female ten didrachms.
And if it be from five years old even to twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6 And from a month old to five years old, the valuation of a male shall be five didrachms, and of a female, three didrachms of silver.
And if it be from a month old even to five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
7 And if from sixty year [old] and upward, if it be a male, his valuation shall be fifteen didrachms of silver, and if a female, ten didrachms.
And if it be from sixty years old and upward, if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 And if the man be too poor for the valuation, he shall stand before the priest; and the priest shall value him: according to what the man who has vowed can afford, the priest shall value him.
But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.
9 And if it be from the cattle that are offered as a gift to the Lord, whoever shall offer one of these to the Lord, it shall be holy.
And if it be a beast, of which men offer an oblation to Jehovah, all that any man gives of such to Jehovah shall be holy.
10 He shall not change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he do at all change it, a beast for a beast, it and the substitute shall be holy.
He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. And if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which none are offered as a gift to the Lord, he shall set the beast before the priest.
And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation to Jehovah, then he shall set the beast before the priest,
12 And the priest shall make a valuation between the good and the bad, and accordingly as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad. As thou the priest values it, so shall it be.
13 And if [the worshipper] will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value.
But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to thy estimation.
14 And whatsoever man shall consecrate his house as holy to the Lord, the priest shall make a valuation of it between the good and the bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to Jehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad. As the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
15 And if he that has sanctified it should redeem his house, he shall add to it the fifth part of the money of the valuation, and it shall be his.
And if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man should hallow to the Lord a part of the field of his possession, then the valuation shall be according to its seed, fifty didrachms of silver for a homer of barley.
And if a man shall sanctify to Jehovah part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing of it, the sowing of a homer of barley at fifty shekels of silver.
17 And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation.
If he sanctifies his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
18 And if he should sanctify his field in the latter time after the release, the priest shall reckon to him the money for the remaining years, until the [next] year of release, and it shall be deducted as an equivalent from his full valuation.
But if he sanctifies his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the year of jubilee, and an abatement shall be made from thy estimation.
19 And if he that sanctified the field would redeem it, he shall add to its value the fifth part of the money, and it shall be his.
And if he who sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.
20 And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it.
And if he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more,
21 But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it.
but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah, as a field set apart; the possession of it shall be the priest's.
22 And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
And if he sanctifies to Jehovah a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
23 the priest shall reckon to him the full valuation from the year of release, and he shall pay the valuation in that day [as] holy to the Lord.
then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of thy estimation to the year of jubilee, and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing to Jehovah.
24 And in the year of release the land shall be restored to the man of whom the other bought it, whose the possession of the land was.
In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
25 And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli.
And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 And every first-born which shall be produced among thy cattle shall be the Lord's, and no man shall sanctify it: whether calf or sheep, it is the Lord's.
Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to Jehovah, no man shall sanctify it, whether it be ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's.
27 But if he should redeem an unclean beast, according to its valuation, then he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his; and if he redeem it not, it shall be sold according to its valuation.
And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it, or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28 And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord.
Notwithstanding, nothing set apart, that a man shall set apart to Jehovah of all that he has, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; everything set apart is most holy to Jehovah.
29 And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death.
No one set apart, who shall be set apart from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
30 Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord's, holy to the Lord.
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's; it is holy to Jehovah.
31 And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his.
And if a man will redeem any of his tithe, he shall add to it the fifth part of it.
32 And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatsoever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.
And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Jehovah.
33 Thou shalt not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if thou shouldest at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.
He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it. And if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.
These are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses for the sons of Israel at mount Sinai.
