Leviticus 27

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for YHWH by your valuation.

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by your estimation.

3 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

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

And if it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.

5 If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

And if it be from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

6 If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

And if it be from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, 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.

But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

9 "'If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to YHWH, all that any man gives of such to YHWH becomes holy.

And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD shall be holy.

10 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 animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed 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 it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to YHWH, then he shall set the animal before the priest;

And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

12 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be.

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you value it, who are the priest, so shall it be.

13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.

But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof to your estimation.

14 "'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to YHWH, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

15 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be his.

16 "'If a man dedicates to YHWH part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

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

If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand.

18 But if he dedicates 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 your valuation.

But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from your estimation.

19 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.

And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.

20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;

And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to YHWH, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests.

But the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

22 "'If he dedicates to YHWH a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

And if a man sanctify to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to YHWH.

Then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation, even to the year of the jubilee: and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the LORD.

24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.

In the year of the jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.

And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

26 "'Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to YHWH, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is YHWH's.

Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD’s firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD’s.

27 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it isn't redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation.

28 "'Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to YHWH of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to YHWH.

Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he has, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.

29 "'No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 "'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is YHWH's. It is holy to YHWH.

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s: it is holy to the LORD.

31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.

And if a man will at all redeem some of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to YHWH.

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD.

33 He shall not search whether it is 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.'"

He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

34 These are the commandments which YHWH commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
