1 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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

3 A nd 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;

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

5 A nd 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.

6 A nd 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.

7 A nd 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.

8 A nd 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.

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

10 T hey 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.

11 A nd 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;

12 a nd the priest shall value it, between good and bad: according to the valuation of the priest, so shall it be.

13 A nd if they will in any wise redeem it, then they shall add a fifth thereof unto thy valuation.

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

15 A nd 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.

16 A nd if a man hallow to Jehovah 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.

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

18 b ut 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.

19 A nd 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;

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

21 a nd 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.

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

23 t he 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, holy to Jehovah.

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

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

26 O nly 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.

27 B ut 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.

28 N otwithstanding, 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.

29 N othing devoted, which shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed: it shall certainly be put to death.

30 A nd 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.

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

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

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

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