Leviticus 27:1-13

Laws concerning Dedications

27¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 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 'are' Jehovah's. ³ When 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. ⁴ And if it 'is' a female—then hath thy valuation been thirty shekels; ⁵ and 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; ⁶ and 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 'is' three shekels of silver; ⁷ and 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. 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. ⁹ 'And if 'it is' a beast of which they bring near an offering to Jehovah, all that 'one' giveth of it to Jehovah is holy; ¹⁰ he 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. ¹¹ 'And if 'it is' any unclean beast of which they do not bring near an offering to Jehovah, then he hath presented the beast before the priest, ¹² and the priest hath valued it; whether good or bad, according to thy valuation, O priest, so it is; ¹³ and if he really redeem it, then he hath added its fifth to thy valuation.
