1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 S peak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When someone shall make a special vow unto the LORD, according to the estimation of the persons that are to be redeemed, thus shall be thy estimation:

Say to the Israelites, When a man shall make a special vow of persons to the Lord at your valuation,

3 R egarding the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

Then your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

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

And if the person is a female, your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5 A nd if it is 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.

And if the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

6 A nd if it is 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.

And if a child is from a month up to five years old, then your valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver and for the female three shekels.

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

And if the person is from sixty years old and above, if it be a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels and for the female ten shekels.

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

But if the man is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.

9 A nd if it is an animal which is offered unto the LORD, all that anyone gives of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

If it is a beast of which men offer an offering to the Lord, all that any man gives of such to the Lord shall 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 exchange one animal for another, then it and the one exchanged thereof shall belong to the sanctuary.

He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he makes any exchange of a beast for a beast, then both the original offering and that exchanged for it shall be holy.

11 A nd if it is an unclean animal, which cannot be offered as a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest;

If it is an unclean animal, such as is not offered as an offering to the Lord, he shall bring the animal before the priest,

12 a nd the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; according to the estimation of the priest, so shall it be.

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so shall it be.

13 B ut if it must be redeemed, then they shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to your valuation.

14 ¶ And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

If a man dedicates his house to be sacred to the Lord, the priest shall appraise it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest appraises it, so shall it stand.

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 he who dedicates his house wants to redeem it, he shall add a fifth of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

16 A nd if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof; one homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

And if a man shall dedicate to the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it; a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

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

If he dedicates his field during the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand according to your full valuation.

18 B ut if he sanctifies 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 it shall be abated from thy estimation.

But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall count the money value in proportion to the years that remain until the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

19 A nd if he that sanctified the field desires to 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 he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of the money of your appraisal to it, and it shall remain his.

20 B ut if he should not redeem the field, and if the field is sold to another, it shall not be redeemed any more;

But if he does not want to redeem the field, or if he has sold it to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 b ut the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field of anathema; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

But the field, when it is released in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the Lord, as a field devoted; the priest shall have possession of it.

22 A nd if anyone sanctifies unto the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his inheritance,

And if a man dedicates to the Lord a field he has bought, which is not of the fields of his possession,

23 t hen the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation until the year of the jubilee; and that day he shall give thy assigned price, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

The priest shall compute the amount of your valuation for it up to the Year of Jubilee; the man shall give that amount on that day as a holy thing to the Lord.

24 I n the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto the one of whom it was bought, unto whom the inheritance of the land did belong.

In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, to him to whom the land belonged.

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

And all your valuations shall be according to the sanctuary shekel; twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.

26 ¶ But the firstborn of the animals, which because it is firstborn belongs to the LORD, no one shall sanctify it; whether it is ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s.

But the firstling of the animals, since a firstling belongs to the Lord, no man may dedicate, whether it be ox or sheep. It is the Lord’s.

27 A nd if it is of an unclean beast, it shall be ransomed according to thy estimation, and they shall add a fifth part unto it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

If it be of an unclean animal, the owner may redeem it according to your valuation, and shall add a fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28 B ut no anathema, that anyone shall devote unto the LORD of all that they have of men and animals and of the fields of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. All anathema is most holy unto the LORD.

But nothing that a man shall devote to the Lord of all that he has, whether of man or beast or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

29 A ny anathema of men which is devoted shall not be ransomed, but shall surely be put to death.

No one doomed to death, who is to be completely destroyed from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30 A nd all the tithes of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s; it is holiness unto the LORD.

These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
