Lev 27
1
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall accomplish a vow,
the persons shall be for YHWH by your estimation.
3
And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years
old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the
sanctuary.
4
And if it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5
And if it be from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation shall
be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6
And if it be from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation shall be
of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three
shekels of silver.
7
And if it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then your estimation
shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8
But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall be set before the priest,
and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him whom vowed shall the
priest value him.
9
And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation to YHWH, all that any man gives
of such to YHWH shall be holy.
10
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 both it and that for which it is changed
shall be holy.
11
And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation to YHWH, then
he shall set the beast before the priest;
12
and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you the priest valu it,
so shall it be.
13
But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof to your
estimation.
14
And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to YHWH, then the priest shall
estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall
it stand.
15
And if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part
of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be his.
16
And if a man shall sanctify to YHWH part of the field of his possession, then your
estimation shall be according to its sowing: the sowing of a homer of barley
[shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.
17
If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it
shall stand.
18
But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him
the money according to the years that remain to the year of jubilee; and an abatement
shall be made from your estimation.
19
And if he who sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth
part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.
20
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
but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to YHWH, as a field
devoted; its possession shall be the priest`s.
22
And if he sanctify to YHWH a field which he has bought, which is not of the field
of his possession;
23
then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation to the year of jubilee:
and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing to YHWH.
24
In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to
him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
25
And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty
gerahs shall be the shekel.
26
Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to YHWH, no man shall sanctify
it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is YHWH`s.
27
And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to your estimation,
and shall add to it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall
be sold according to your estimation.
28
Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to YHWH 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 YHWH.
29
No one devoted, that shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall
surely be put to death.
30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of
the tree, is YHWH`s: it is holy to YHWH.
31
And if a man will redeem anything of his tithe, he shall add to it the fifth part
thereof.
32
And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth
shall be holy to YHWH.
33
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 that for which it is changed shall be holy;
it shall not be redeemed.
34
These are the commandments, which YHWH commanded Moses for the children of Israel
in mount Sinai.
