1 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 ` Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man maketh a wonderful vow, by thy valuation the persons Jehovah's.

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

3 W hen thy valuation hath been of the male from a son of twenty years even unto a son of sixty years, then hath been thy valuation fifty shekels of silver by 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 a female -- then hath thy valuation been thirty shekels;

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

5 a nd if from a son of five years even unto a son of twenty years -- then hath thy valuation been 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 from a son of a month even unto a son of five years -- then hath thy valuation been of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation 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 from a son of sixty years and above -- if a male, then hath thy valuation been fifteen shekels, and for a 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 ` And if he is poorer than thy valuation, then he hath presented himself before the priest, and the priest hath valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing doth reach doth 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 ` And if a beast of which they bring near an offering to Jehovah, all that giveth of it to Jehovah is 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 doth not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really change beast for beast, -- then it hath been -- it and its exchange is holy.

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 ` And if any unclean beast of which they do not bring near an offering to Jehovah, then he hath presented the beast 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 hath valued it; whether good or bad, according to thy valuation, O priest, so it is;

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

13 a nd if he really redeem it, then he hath added its fifth to thy valuation.

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

14 ` And when a man sanctifieth his house, a holy thing to Jehovah, then hath the priest valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest doth value it so it standeth;

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 who is sanctifying doth redeem his house, then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath become 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 ` And if of the field of his possession a man sanctify to Jehovah, then hath thy valuation been according to its seed; a homer of barley-seed 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 from the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to thy valuation it standeth;

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

18 a nd if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then hath the priest reckoned to him the money according to the years which are left, unto the year of the jubilee, and it hath been abated from thy valuation.

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 ` And if he really redeem the field -- he who is sanctifying it -- then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath been established 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 a nd if he do not redeem the field, or if he hath sold the field to another man, it is not 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 a nd the field hath been, in its going out in the jubilee, holy to Jehovah as a field which is devoted; to the priest is its possession.

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 ` And if the field of his purchase (which not of the fields of his possession) sanctify to Jehovah --

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 hath the priest reckoned to him the amount of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee, and he hath given thy valuation in that day -- a holy thing to Jehovah;

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 returneth to him from whom he bought it, to him whose the possession of the land.

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 valuation is by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs is the shekel.

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

26 ` Only, a firstling which is Jehovah's firstling among beasts -- no man doth sanctify it, whether ox or sheep; it Jehovah'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 among the unclean beasts, then he hath ransomed at thy valuation, and he hath added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it hath been sold at thy valuation.

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 ` Only, no devoted thing which a man devoteth to Jehovah, of all that he hath, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.

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 ` No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely 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 tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's -- holy to Jehovah.

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 to the Lord.

31 ` And if a man really redeem of his tithe, its fifth he addeth to it.

And if a man wants to redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.

32 ` And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock -- all that passeth by under the rod -- the tenth is holy to Jehovah;

And all the tithe of the herd or of the flock, whatever passes under the herdsman’s staff, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.

33 h e enquireth not between good and bad, nor doth he change it; and if he really change it -- then it hath been -- it and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.'

The man shall not examine whether the animal is good or bad nor shall he exchange it. If he does exchange it, then both it and the animal substituted for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

34 T hese the commands which Jehovah hath commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai.

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