Leviticus 27

1 Moreouer the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, If any man shall make a vowe of a person vnto the Lord, by thy estimation,

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 Then thy estimation shall bee thus: a male from twentie yeere olde vnto sixty yeere olde shalbe by thy estimation euen fifty shekels of siluer, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie.

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 But if it be a female, then thy valuation shall be thirtie shekels.

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

5 And from fiue yere old to twentie yere olde thy valuation shall be for the male twentie 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 But from a moneth old vnto fiue yere old, thy price of the male shall bee fiue shekels of siluer, and thy price of the female, three shekels of siluer.

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 from sixty yeere olde and aboue, if he be a male, then thy price shalbe fifteene 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 But if he be poorer then thou hast esteemed him, then shall hee present himselfe before the Priest, and the Priest shall value him, according to the abilitie of him that vowed, so 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 vnto the Lord, all that one giueth of such vnto the Lord, shalbe 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 He shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a badde, nor a badde for a good: and if hee change beast for beast, then both this and that, which was changed for it, 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 vncleane beast, of which men do not offer a sacrifice vnto the Lord, hee shall then 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, whether it be good or bad: and as thou valuest it, which art the Priest, so shall it bee.

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 But if he will bye it againe, then hee shall giue the fift part of it more, aboue thy valuation.

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

14 Also whe a man shall dedicate his house to be holy vnto the Lord, then the Priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad, and as ye Priest shall prise it, so shall the value be.

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 But if he that sanctified it, will redeeme his house, then hee shall giue thereto the fift part of money more then thy estimation, and it shalbe 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 If also a man dedicate to the Lord any grounde of his inheritance, then shalt thou esteeme it according to the seede therof: an Homer of barlie seede shalbe at fiftie shekels of siluer.

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 dedicate his field immediatly from the yeere of Iubile, it shall bee worth as thou doest esteeme it.

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

18 But if hee dedicate his fielde after the Iubile, then the Priest shall recken him the money according to ye yeeres that remaine vnto the yere of Iubile, and it shalbe abated by thy estimation.

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 dedicateth it, will redeeme the fielde, then he shall put the fift parte of the price, that thou esteemedst it at, thereunto, and it shall remaine his.

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 And if he will not redeeme the fielde, but the Priest sell the fielde to another man, it shalbe redeemed no 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 But the field shalbe holy to the Lord, whe it goeth out in the Iubile, as a fielde separate from common vses: the possession thereof shall be the Priests.

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 If a man also dedicate vnto ye Lord a fielde which he hath bought, which is not of the groud of his inheritance,

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 Then the Priest shall set the price to him, as thou esteemest it, vnto the yeere of Iubile, and he shall giue thy price the same day, as a thing holy vnto the Lord.

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 But in the yeere of Iubile, the fielde shall returne vnto him, of whome it was bought: to him, I say, whose inheritance the land was.

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 bee according to the shekel of the Sanctuarie: a shekel conteyneth twenty gerahs.

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

26 Notwithstanding the first borne of the beastes, because it is the Lordes first borne, none shall dedicate such, be it bullocke, or sheepe; for it is the Lords.

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 an vncleane beast, then he shall redeeme it by thy valuation, and giue the fift part more thereto: and if it be not redeemed, then it shalbe solde, according to thy estimation.

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, nothing separate from the common vse that a man doeth separate vnto the Lord of all that he hath (whether it bee man or beast, or lande of his inheritance) may be solde nor redeemed: for euery thing separate from the common vse is most holy vnto the Lord.

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 separate from the common vse, which shall be separate from man, shalbe redeemed, but dye the death.

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

30 Also all the tithe of the lande both of the seede of the ground, and of the fruite of the trees is the Lords: it is holy to the Lord.

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

31 But if a man will redeeme any of his tithe, he shall adde the fift part thereto.

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 euery tithe of bullock, and of sheepe, and of all that goeth vnder the rod, the tenth shalbe holy vnto the Lord.

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 looke if it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: els if he change it, both it, and that it was changed withall, shalbe holy, and 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 commandements which the Lord commanded by Moses vnto the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

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