Leviticus 27

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.

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,

3 If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:

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.

4 If a woman, thirty.

And the valuation of a female shall be thirty didrachms.

5 But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.

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.

6 From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.

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.

7 A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.

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.

8 If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.

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.

9 But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,

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.

10 And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.

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.

11 An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:

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.

12 Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:

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.

13 Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.

And if [the worshipper] will at all redeem it, he shall add the fifth part to its value.

14 If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.

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.

15 But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.

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.

16 And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.

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.

17 If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.

And if he should sanctify his field from the year of release, it shall stand according to his valuation.

18 But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.

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.

19 And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.

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.

20 And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:

And if he do not redeem the field, but should sell the field to another man, he shall not after redeem it.

21 For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.

But the field shall be holy to the Lord after the release, as separated land; the priest shall have possession of it.

22 If a field that was bought, and not of a man’s ancestors’ possession, be sanctified to the Lord,

And if he should consecrate to the Lord of a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,

23 The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.

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.

24 But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.

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.

25 All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

And every valuation shall be by holy weights: the didrachm shall be twenty oboli.

26 The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord’s.

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.

27 And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.

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.

28 Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.

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.

29 And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.

And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death.

30 All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord’s, and are sanctified to him.

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.

31 And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.

And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his.

32 Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd’s rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the Lord.

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.

33 It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.

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.

34 These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.
