1 A nd Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

Then the Lord said to Moses,

2 S peak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by thy estimation.

“Say to the sons of Israel, ‘When a man makes a special promise, you will decide upon the worth of this person for the Lord.

3 A nd thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

The price you put on a man from twenty to sixty years old will be fifty pieces of silver, by the weight of the holy place.

4 A nd if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

For a woman it will be thirty pieces of silver.

5 A nd if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

For a male from five to twenty years old it will be twenty pieces of silver. For a woman it will be ten pieces of silver.

6 A nd if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.

Your price for a child from one month to five years old will be five pieces of silver for the boy, and three pieces of silver for the girl.

7 A nd if it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

Your price for a person sixty years old and older will be fifteen pieces of silver for the man, and ten pieces of silver for the woman.

8 B ut if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him that vowed shall the priest value him.

But if the person is too poor to pay your price, he will be brought to the religious leader. The religious leader will decide the worth of the person by how much he who made the promise is able to pay.

9 A nd if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto Jehovah, all that any man giveth of such unto Jehovah shall be holy.

‘If it is a kind of animal which men give as a gift to the Lord, any such animal that is given to the Lord will be holy.

10 H e 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 both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

He must not have another animal take its place, good for bad or bad for good. If he does trade one animal for another, then both animals will become holy.

11 A nd if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation unto Jehovah, then he shall set the beast before the priest;

But if the animal is unclean and not the kind which men give to the Lord, then he will bring the animal to the religious leader.

12 a nd the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be.

The religious leader will decide if it is good or bad. Whatever price the religious leader puts on it, so it will be.

13 B ut if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

If the man wants to buy it again, he will add a fifth to your price.

14 A nd when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto Jehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

‘When a man sets apart his house as holy to the Lord, the religious leader will decide if it is good or bad. Whatever price the religious leader puts on it, so it will be.

15 A nd if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

If the man who sets it apart wants to buy his house again, he will add one-fifth part to your price. Then it will be his.

16 A nd if a man shall sanctify unto Jehovah part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing thereof: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

‘If a man sets apart to the Lord part of a field he owns, you will decide upon its price by the seed needed for it. Ten baskets of barley seed will be worth fifty pieces of silver.

17 I f he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

If he sets apart his field during the Year of Jubilee, it will be worth your full price.

18 B ut if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from thy estimation.

But if he sets apart his field after the Year of Jubilee, the religious leader will decide upon its worth by the years left until the next Year of Jubilee. It will be taken off your price.

19 A nd if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

If the man who sets it apart wants to buy his field again, he will add one-fifth part to your price. Then it will be his.

20 A nd if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more:

But if he does not want to buy the field again, or has sold the field to another man, it cannot be bought again.

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

And when the field becomes free in the Jubilee, it will be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart. It will belong to the religious leader.

22 A nd if he sanctify unto Jehovah a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession;

If a man sets apart to the Lord a field he has bought, which is not a part of the land he was given by his father,

23 t hen the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto Jehovah.

the religious leader will decide its worth until the Year of Jubilee. The man will pay that amount on that day as holy to the Lord.

24 I n the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth.

In the Year of Jubilee the field will return from him who bought it to the one who owned it first.

25 A nd all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

The price of silver used in the holy place will decide its worth. One piece of silver will be worth twenty small pieces of money.

26 O nly the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to Jehovah, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's.

‘But no man may set apart a first-born of the animals. A first-born of the cattle or the flock belongs to the Lord.

27 A nd if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

If it is an animal that is unclean, he will buy it again by paying your price and one-fifth part added to it. If it is not bought again, then it will be sold for your price.

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

‘But nothing that a man sets apart to the Lord of all he has, of man or animal or his own land, will be sold or bought. Everything that has been set apart is most holy to the Lord.

29 N o one devoted, that shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

No person who has been set apart to be destroyed from among men can be paid for. He must be put to death.

30 A nd all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's: it is holy unto Jehovah.

‘The tenth part of all the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s. It is holy to the Lord.

31 A nd if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof.

If a man wants to buy any of the tenth part that belongs to the Lord, he will add one-fifth part to its price.

32 A nd all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Jehovah.

And every tenth animal of the cattle or flock, whatever passes under the shepherd’s stick, the tenth one will be holy to the Lord.

33 H e 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 that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

The man will not ask if it is good or bad, or trade it for something else. If he does trade it for something else, then both will become holy. He cannot buy them again.’”

34 T hese are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

These are the Laws the Lord gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the sons of Israel.
