1 T hen the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 “ 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.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation.

3 T he 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.

And 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.

4 F or a woman it will be thirty pieces of silver.

And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

5 F or 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.

And 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.

6 Y our 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.

And 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.

7 Y our 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.

And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

8 B ut 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.

But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

9 ‘ 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.

And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord, all that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy.

10 H e 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.

He 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 it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

11 B ut 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.

And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall present the beast before the priest:

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

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

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

But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

14 ‘ 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.

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

15 I f 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.

And 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.

16 ‘ 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.

And 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: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

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

If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

18 B ut 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.

But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

19 I f 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.

And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

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

And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

21 A nd 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.

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

22 I f 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,

And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

23 t he 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.

Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.

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

In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

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

And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

26 ‘ 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.

Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the Lord 's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the Lord 's.

27 I f 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.

And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.

28 ‘ 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.

Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord.

29 N o person who has been set apart to be destroyed from among men can be paid for. He must be put to death.

None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

30 ‘ 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.

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord 's: it is holy unto the Lord.

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

And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

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

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.

33 T he 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.’”

He 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 change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

34 T hese are the Laws the Lord gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the sons of Israel.

These are the commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
