Genesis 28:20-22

20Then Jacob amade a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, 21 bso that I come again to my father’s house in peace, cthen the Lord shall be my God, 22and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, dshall be God’s house. And eof all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.”

Leviticus 27:2-34

2Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, If anyone fmakes a special vow to the Lord involving the valuation of persons, 3then the valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels
A  shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
of silver, according to the hshekel of the sanctuary.
4If the person is a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels. 5If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 6If the person is from a month old up to five years old, the valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female the valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 7And if the person is sixty years old or over, then the valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 8And if someone is too poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to what the vower can afford.

9“If the vow
Hebrew it
is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the Lord, all of it that he gives to the Lord is holy.
10 jHe shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it and the substitute shall be holy. 11And if it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the Lord, then he shall stand the animal before the priest, 12and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be. 13 kBut if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a lfifth to the valuation.

14“When a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the Lord, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand. 15 mAnd if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a nfifth to the valuation price, and it shall be his.

16“If a man dedicates to the Lord part of the land that is his possession, then the valuation shall be in proportion to its seed. A homer
A  homer was about 6 bushels or 220 liters
of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, the valuation shall stand, 18but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall pcalculate the price according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from the valuation. 19 qAnd if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a rfifth to its valuation price, and it shall remain his. 20But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore. 21But the field, swhen it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the Lord, like a field that has been tdevoted. The priest shall be in upossession of it. 22If he dedicates to the Lord a field that he has bought, vwhich is not a part of his possession, 23 wthen the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the Lord. 24 xIn the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession. 25Every valuation shall be according to ythe shekel of the sanctuary: ztwenty gerahs
A  gerah was about 1/50 ounce or 0.6 gram
shall make a shekel.

26But a abfirstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, acand add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation.

28But adno devoted thing that a man devotes to the Lord, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord. 29 aeNo one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction
That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)
from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30 agEvery tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. 31If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. 32And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that ahpass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord. 33One shall not differentiate between good or bad, aineither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”

34 ajThese are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses for the people of Israel akon Mount Sinai.

Numbers 21:2

2 alAnd Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said, “If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.”

35And as soon as he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, “Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you have become the cause of great trouble to me. For I have opened my mouth to the Lord, awand I cannot take back my vow.” 36And she said to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to the Lord; do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, now that the Lord has avenged you on your enemies, on the Ammonites.”
