| 27 | Leviticus | ||
| 1 | Yahweh said to Moses, | Vows. Lv.27.1-34 | |
| 2 | "Say to the people of Israel, When a man makes a special vow of persons to Yahweh at your valuation, | ||
| 3 | then your valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. | ||
| 4 | If the person is a female, your valuation shall be thirty shekels. | ||
| 5 | If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. | ||
| 6 | If the person is from a month old up to five years old, your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver. | ||
| 7 | And if the person is sixty years old and upward, then your valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. | ||
| 8 | And if a man is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall bring the person before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed the priest shall value him. | ||
| 9 | "If it is an animal such as men offer as an offering to Yahweh, all of such that any man gives to Yahweh is holy. | ||
| 10 | He shall not substitute anything for it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he makes any exchange of beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. | ||
| 11 | And if it is an unclean animal such as is not offered as an offering to Yahweh, then the man shall bring the animal before the priest, | ||
| 12 | and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be. | ||
| 13 | But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation. | ||
| 14 | "When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand. | ||
| 15 | And if he who dedicates it wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall be his. | ||
| 16 | "If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the land which is his by inheritance, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it; a sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. | ||
| 17 | If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, it shall stand at your full valuation; | ||
| 18 | but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall compute the money-value for it according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from your valuation. | ||
| 19 | And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall remain his. | ||
| 20 | But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more; | ||
| 21 | but the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a field that has been devoted; the priest shall be in possession of it. | ||
| 22 | If he dedicates to Yahweh a field which he has bought, which is not a part of his possession by inheritance, | ||
| 23 | then the priest shall compute the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the amount of the valuation on that day as a holy thing to Yahweh. | ||
| 24 | In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession by inheritance. | ||
| 25 | Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel. | ||
| 26 | "But a firstling of animals, which as a firstling belongs to Yahweh, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is Yahweh's. | ||
| 27 | And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at your valuation, and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at your valuation. | ||
| 28 | "But no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh, of anything that he has, whether of man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to Yahweh. | ||
| 29 | No one devoted, who is to be utterly destroyed from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall be put to death. | ||
| 30 | "All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh's; it is holy to Yahweh. | ||
| 31 | If a man wishes to redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. | ||
| 32 | And all the tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to Yahweh. | ||
| 33 | A man shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed." | ||
| 34 | These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai. | ||
