Vayikra 27
27
1And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When a man shall articulate a neder, the nefashot shall be for Hashem by thy evaluation.
3And thy evaluation shall be of the zachar from esrim shanim even unto shishim shanah, even thy evaluation shall be fifty shekels kesef, after the shekel HaKodesh.
4And if it be a nekevah, then thy evaluation shall be shloshim shekel.
5And if it be from chamesh shanim even unto esrim shanah, then thy evaluation shall be of the zachar esrim shekel, and for the nekevah aseret shekalim.
6And if it be from a month old even unto chamesh shanim, then thy evaluation shall be of the zachar chamishah shekalim kesef, and for the nekevah thy evaluation shall be shloshet shekalim kesef.
7And if it be from shishim shanah and above, if it be a zachar, then thy evaluation shall be chamishah asar shekel, and for the nekevah asarah shekalim.
8But if he be poorer than thy evaluation, then he shall present himself before the kohen, and the kohen shall value him; according to the ability of the one who vowed the neder shall the kohen value him.
9And if it be a behemah, whereof men bring a korban unto Hashem, all that any man giveth of such unto Hashem shall be kodesh.
10He shall not exchange it, nor substitute it, a tov for a rah, or rah for tov: and if he shall at all substitute behemah for behemah, then it and its temurah (substitute)#27:10 1K 2:24 shall be kodesh.
11And if it be any behemah temeiah, of which they do not offer a korban unto Hashem, then he shall present the behemah before the kohen;
12And the kohen shall value it, whether it be tov or rah; as thou valuest it, who art the kohen, so shall it be.
13But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add chamishito (a fifth part thereof) unto thy evaluation.
14And when a man shall set apart as kodesh his bais to be kodesh unto Hashem, then the kohen shall evaluate it, whether it be tov or rah; as the kohen shall set the value of it, so shall it remain.
15And if he that set it apart as kodesh will redeem his bais, then he shall add the fifth part of the kesef of thy evaluation unto it, and it shall be his.
16And if a man shall set apart as kodesh unto Hashem some part of a sadeh of his possession, then thy evaluation shall be according to its seeding; an area seeded by a homer of barley shall be valued at chamishim shekel kesef.
17If he set apart as kodesh his sadeh from the Shnat HaYovel, according to thy evaluation it shall remain.
18But if he set apart as kodesh his sadeh after the Yovel, then the kohen shall reckon unto him the kesef according to the shanim that remain, even unto the Shnat HaYovel, and it shall be deducted from thy evaluation.
19And if he that set apart as kodesh the sadeh will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the kesef of thy evaluation unto it, and it shall be his.
20And if he will not redeem the sadeh, or if he have sold the sadeh to ish acher (another man), it shall not be redeemed any more.
21But the sadeh, when it is released in the Yovel, shall be kodesh unto Hashem, as a sadeh hacherem (devoted); the possession thereof shall be the kohenʼs.
22And if a man set apart as kodesh unto Hashem a sadeh which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession,#27:22 i.e., ancestral heritage
23Then the kohen shall reckon unto him the worth of thy evaluation, even unto the Shnat HaYovel: and he shall give thine evaluation in that day, as kodesh unto Hashem.
24In the Shnat HaYovel the sadeh shall return and revert unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the Achuzzat HaAretz (Ancestral Heritage of the Land) did belong.
25And all thy evaluations shall be according to the shekel HaKodesh; twenty gerah shall be the shekel.
26Only the bechor of the behemah, which should be Hashemʼs Bechor, no man shall set it apart as kodesh; whether it be shor (ox), or seh (sheep): it is Hashemʼs.
27And if it be of a behemah hatemeiah, then he shall redeem it according to thine evaluation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy evaluation.
28Nevertheless, no cherem (devoted thing), that a man shall devote unto Hashem of all that he hath, both of adam and behemah, and of the sadeh of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every cherem is kodesh kodashim unto Hashem.
29No cherem, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
30And all the ma'aser HaAretz (tithe of the Land), whether of the zera HaAretz, or of the pri HaEtz, is Hashemʼs; it is kodesh unto Hashem.
31And if a man will at all redeem ought of his ma'aserot (tithes), he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32And concerning the ma'aser of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be kodesh unto Hashem.
33He shall not search whether it be tov or rah, neither shall he change it; and if he substitute it at all, then both it and the temurah (exchange, substitute) shall be kodesh; it shall not be redeemed. (Isaiah 53: Moshiach our temurah!)
34These are the mitzvot, which Hashem commanded Moshe for the Bnei Yisroel in Mt. Sinai.

Leviticus 27
27
1And 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.
3When 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.
4And if it [is] a female — then hath thy valuation been thirty shekels;
5and 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;
6and 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;
7and 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;
10he 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,
12and the priest hath valued it; whether good or bad, according to thy valuation, O priest, so it is;
13and if he really redeem it, then he hath added its fifth to thy valuation.
14‘And when a man sanctifieth his house, a holy thing to Jehovah, then hath the priest valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest doth value it so it standeth;
15and if he who is sanctifying doth redeem his house, then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath become his.
16‘And if of the field of his possession a man sanctify to Jehovah, then hath thy valuation been according to its seed; a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;
17if from the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to thy valuation it standeth;
18and if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then hath the priest reckoned to him the money according to the years which are left, unto the year of the jubilee, and it hath been abated from thy valuation.
19‘And if he really redeem the field — he who is sanctifying it — then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath been established to him;
20and if he do not redeem the field, or if he hath sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed any more;
21and the field hath been, in its going out in the jubilee, holy to Jehovah as a field which is devoted; to the priest is its possession.
22‘And if the field of his purchase (which [is] not of the fields of his possession) [one] sanctify to Jehovah —
23then hath the priest reckoned to him the amount of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee, and he hath given thy valuation in that day — a holy thing to Jehovah;
24in the year of the jubilee the field returneth to him from whom he bought it, to him whose [is] the possession of the land.
25And all thy valuation is by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs is the shekel.
26‘Only, a firstling which is Jehovah's firstling among beasts — no man doth sanctify it, whether ox or sheep; it [is] Jehovah's.
27And if among the unclean beasts, then he hath ransomed [it] at thy valuation, and he hath added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it hath been sold at thy valuation.
28‘Only, no devoted thing which a man devoteth to Jehovah, of all that he hath, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.
29‘No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
30And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's — holy to Jehovah.
31‘And if a man really redeem [any] of his tithe, its fifth he addeth to it.
32‘And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock — all that passeth by under the rod — the tenth is holy to Jehovah;
33he enquireth not between good and bad, nor doth he change it; and if he really change it — then it hath been — it and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.’
34These [are] the commands which Jehovah hath commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai.
