1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

Again, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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:

“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘ When a man makes a difficult vow, he shall be valued according to your valuation of persons belonging to the Lord.

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.

If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

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

Or if it is a female, then 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.

If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be 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.

But if they are from a month even up to five years old, then your valuation shall be five shekels of silver for the male, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

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.

If they are from sixty years old and upward, if it is 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 he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be placed before the priest and the priest shall value him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall 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.

‘Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the Lord, any such that one gives 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; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become 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, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which men do not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place 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.

The priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

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

But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it 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.

‘Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall 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.

Yet if the one who consecrates it should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may 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.

‘Again, if a man consecrates to the Lord part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed 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 consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

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.

If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left 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 the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him.

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;

Yet if he will not redeem the field, but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

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.

and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart; it shall be for the priest as his property.

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

Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,

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.

then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy 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 the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

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

Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

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.

‘ However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may consecrate it; whether 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.

But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and 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.

‘Nevertheless, anything which a man sets apart to the Lord out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction 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 who may have been set apart 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.

‘Thus all the tithe of 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 anyone desires to redeem anything of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

32 A nd concerning the tithe of the cows or of the sheep, even of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holiness unto the LORD.

For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord.

33 H e shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he changes it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”

34 T hese are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.

These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai.
