Leviticus 27

CHAPTER 27

The Value of Vows

1And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the sons of Israel! And you shall say unto them, A man who ever should vow a vow for a value   of his life to the lord, 3it will be the value of a male from twenty years unto sixty years old -- [³will be ¹his   ²value] fifty double-drachmas of silver by the [²weight   ¹holy]. 4And the female will be the price of thirty double-drachmas. 5And if from five years old  unto twenty years old, [⁵shall be ¹the ²value ³of the ⁴male] twenty double-drachmas, and the female ten double-drachmas. 6And from a month unto five years old, [⁵shall be ¹the ²value ³of the ⁴male] five double-drachmas of silver, and the female three double-drachmas of silver. 7And if from sixty years old and up, if indeed [²a male ¹it might be], [²shall be   ¹his value] fifteen double-drachmas of silver; for the female ten double-drachmas. 8And if [²of low estate  ¹he might be] for a value, he shall be stood before the priest, and [³shall value ⁴him ¹the ²priest], just as [⁵is able to afford  ¹the ²hand ³of the ⁴one making a vow] -- thus [³shall value ⁴him ¹the ²priest]. 9And if it be  from the cattle of the ones being offered of them as a gift to the lord, who ever should give of these to the lord, it shall be holy. 10He shall not change it good for  bad, nor bad for  good. And if by bartering he should barter it cattle for  cattle, [⁵shall be ¹it ²and ³the ⁴thing bartered] holy. 11And if any [²beast ¹unclean], of which none are offered of them as a gift to the lord, he shall set the beast before the priest, 12and [³shall value ⁴it ¹the ²priest], between good and between bad. And as far as [³valuing ⁴it ¹the ²priest], so it will stand. 13And if the one ransoming should ransom it, he shall add the fifth part to the value of it. 14And a man, who ever should sanctify   his house holy to the lord, then [³shall value ⁴it ¹the ²priest] between good and between bad; what ever [³shall value ⁴it ¹the ²priest], so it shall stand. 15And if the one sanctifying it should redeem   his house, he shall add unto it the fifth part   of the money for the value, and it shall be his. 16And if [³from ⁴the ⁵field   ⁶of his possession ²should sanctify ¹a man] to the lord, then [³shall be ¹the ²value] according to   its sowing -- a cor of barley equals fifty double-drachmas of silver. 17And if from the year of the release he should sanctify   his field, according to   his value it shall stand. 18But if [³last ⁴after ⁵the ⁶release ¹he should sanctify   ²his field], [³shall count in addition ⁴to it ¹the ²priest] the money for the years   remaining, until unto the next year of the release, and it shall be deducted from   his valuation. 19And if [⁵should ransom ³the ⁴field ¹the ²one sanctifying] it, he shall add the fifth part of the money to the value of it, and it will be his. 20And if he should not ransom the field, and should give back the field [²man ¹to another], no longer shall he ransom it. 21But [⁶will be ¹the ²field ³coming forth ⁴from the ⁵release] holy to the lord, as the land   being separated; to the priest it will be his possession. 22And if from the field of which he acquired, which is not from the field   of his possession, that he should sanctify to the lord, 23the priest shall impute to him the full   value from the year of the release, and he shall render the value in   that day as holy to the lord. 24And in the year of the release, he shall give back the field to the man from whom he acquired it, of whom was   in possession of the land. 25And all value will be [²weights ¹by holy] -- twenty oboli will be the double-drachma. 26And every first-born which ever should be born among   your cattle will be to the lord. And   [²shall consecrate ³it ¹no one]. If also a calf, if also a sheep, [²to the ³ lord  ¹it is]. 27And if of the four-footed creatures  of the unclean he should barter for the value of it, then he shall add   his fifth part to it, and it will be his. But if he should not ransom it, it shall be sold according to   its valuation. 28And every offering for consumption which ever [²should present ¹a man] to the lord  of all as much as is to him, from man unto beast, and from a field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor ransom it; every offering for consumption [²a holy ³of holies ¹will be] to the lord. 29And all, what ever should be presented from   men, it shall not be ransomed, but to death it shall be put to death. 30Every tenth of the land, from the seed of the land, and from the fruit of the wood to the lord, it is holy to the lord. 31And if ransoming [²should ransom ¹a man]   of his tenth,   his fifth part he shall add to it, and it will be his. 32And every tenth of oxen, and sheep, and all which should go through in the number by the rod measure, the tenth will be holy to the lord. 33You shall not barter it good for  bad, nor bad for  good. And if in bartering you should barter it, it shall be and   its barter holy, it shall not be ransomed. 34These are the commandments which the lord gave charge to  Moses for the sons of Israel on   mount Sinai.
