Chapter 27

¹The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ²“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, If anyone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the valuation of persons, ³then if the person is a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, the valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. ⁴If it is a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels. ⁵If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. ⁶If the person is from a month old up to five years old, the valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female the valuation shall be three shekels of silver. ⁷And if the person is sixty years old or upward, then if it is a male, the valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. ⁸But if he is too poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be presented before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to what the vower can afford. ⁹“If the vow is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the LORD, all of it that one gives to the LORD is holy. ¹⁰He shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it and the substitute shall be holy. ¹¹If it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the LORD, then the animal shall be presented before the priest, ¹²and the priest shall value it as good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be. ¹³But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation. ¹⁴“When a man dedicates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest shall value it as good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand. ¹⁵If the man who dedicates his house wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall be his. ¹⁶“If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the land of his possession, then your valuation shall be in proportion to the seed needed for it: a sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. ¹⁷If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, then in accordance with your valuation it shall stand. ¹⁸But if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money value for it according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from your valuation. ¹⁹And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall remain his. ²⁰If he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore. ²¹But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a devoted field; the priest shall have possession of it. ²²“If he dedicates to the LORD a field that he has bought, which is not a part of his possession, ²³then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy thing to the LORD. ²⁴In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom he bought it, to whom the land belongs as a possession. ²⁵Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel. ²⁶“But a firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s. ²⁷If it is an unclean animal, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation and add a fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold according to your valuation. ²⁸“But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, may be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD. ²⁹No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. ³⁰“Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s; it is holy to the LORD. ³¹If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. ³²And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the LORD. ³³One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he exchange it; and if he does exchange it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.” ³⁴These are the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
