Leviticus 27

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When any one devoteth [anything] by a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah according to thy valuation.

Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.

3 And thy valuation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old: thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary;

And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place.

4 and if it be of a female, thy valuation shall be thirty shekels.

And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels.

5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, thy valuation of the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.

6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, thy valuation of the male shall be five shekels of silver; and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.

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

And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten.

8 And if he be poorer than thy valuation, he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him: according to his means that vowed shall the priest value him.

But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.

9 And if it be a beast whereof men bring an offering unto Jehovah, all that they give of such unto Jehovah shall be holy.

And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.

10 They shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy.

11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not bring an offering unto Jehovah, then he shall present the beast before the priest;

And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;

12 and the priest shall value it, [judging] between good and bad: according to the valuation of the priest, so shall it be.

And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.

13 And if they will in any wise redeem it, then they shall add a fifth [part] thereof unto thy valuation.

But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value.

14 And when any one halloweth his house, that it may be holy to Jehovah, the priest shall value it, [judging] between good and bad: as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.

15 And if he that halloweth it will redeem his house, he shall add the fifth of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his.

And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his.

16 And if a man hallow to Jehovah [part] of a field of his possession, thy valuation shall be according to what may be sown in it: the homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17 If he hallow his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation shall it stand;

If he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your decision.

18 but if he hallow his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, until the year of the jubilee; and there shall be a reduction from thy valuation.

But if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your value.

19 And if he that hallowed the field will in any wise redeem it, he shall add the fifth of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured to him;

And if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his.

20 but if he do not redeem the field, or if he sell the field to another man, it cannot be redeemed any more;

But if he has no desire to get it back, or if he has given it for a price to another man, it may not be got back again.

21 and the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

But the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the priest.

22 And if he hallow to Jehovah a field that he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession,

And if a man gives to the Lord a field which he has got for money from another, which is not part of his heritage;

23 the priest shall reckon unto him the amount of thy valuation, unto the year of the jubilee; and he shall give thy valuation on that day, [as] holy to Jehovah.

Then the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy to the Lord.

24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought — to him to whom the land belonged.

In the year of Jubilee the field will go back to him from whom he got it, that is, to him whose heritage it was.

25 And all thy valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

26 Only the firstling which is offered as firstling to Jehovah among the cattle, that shall no man hallow, whether it be ox or sheep; it is Jehovah's.

But a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's.

27 But if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thy valuation, and shall add a fifth of it thereto; and if it be not redeemed, it shall be sold according to thy valuation.

And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.

28 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man hath devoted to Jehovah of all that he hath, of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.

But nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most holy to the Lord.

29 Nothing devoted, which shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed: it shall certainly be put to death.

Any man given completely to the Lord may not be got back: he is certainly to be put to death.

30 And as to every tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of the tree, it is Jehovah's: it is holy to Jehovah.

And every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees, is holy to the Lord.

31 And if any one will at all redeem of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth thereof.

And if a man has a desire to get back any of the tenth part which he has given, let him give a fifth more.

32 And as to every tithe of the herd, or of the flock, of whatever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Jehovah.

And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.

33 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 exchange thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

He may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it; and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not get them back again.

34 These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel upon mount Sinai.

These are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai.
