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

Laws concerning Gifts to the Lord
1The Lord gave Moses 2the following regulations for the people of Israel. When any of you have been given to the Lord in fulfillment of a special vow, you may be set free by the payment of the following sums of money, 3-7according to the official standard:
–adult male, twenty to sixty years old: 50 pieces of silver
–adult female: 30 pieces of silver
–young male, five to twenty years old: 20 pieces of silver
–young female: 10 pieces of silver
–infant male under five: 5 pieces of silver
–infant female: 3 pieces of silver
–male above sixty years of age: 15 pieces of silver
–female above sixty: 10 pieces of silver
8If any of you make a vow and are too poor to pay the standard price, you shall bring the person to the priest, and the priest will set a lower price, according to your ability to pay.
9If your vow concerns an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, then every gift made to the Lord is sacred, 10and you may not substitute another animal for it. If you do, both animals belong to the Lord. 11But if your vow concerns a ritually unclean animal, which is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord, you shall take the animal to the priest. 12The priest shall set a price for it, according to its good or bad qualities, and the price will be final. 13If you wish to buy it back, you must pay the price plus an additional 20 percent.
14When any of you dedicate your house to the Lord, the priest shall set the price according to its good or bad points, and the price will be final. 15If you wish to buy your house back, you must pay the price plus an additional 20 percent.
16If any of you dedicate part of your land to the Lord, the price shall be set according to the amount of seed it takes to sow it, at the rate of ten pieces of silver per bushel of barley. 17If you dedicate the land immediately after a Year of Restoration, the full price applies. 18If you dedicate it any time later, the priest shall estimate the cash value according to the number of years left until the next Year of Restoration, and set a reduced price. 19If you wish to buy your field back, you must pay the price plus an additional 20 percent. 20If you sell the field to someone else without first buying it back from the Lord, you lose the right to buy it back. 21At the next Year of Restoration the field will become the Lord's permanent property; it shall belong to the priests.
22If you dedicate to the Lord a field that you have bought, 23the priest shall estimate its value according to the number of years until the next Year of Restoration, and you must pay the price that very day; the money belongs to the Lord. 24At the Year of Restoration the field shall be returned to the original owner or to the descendants.
25All prices shall be set according to the official standard.
26The first-born of an animal already belongs to the Lord, so no one may dedicate it to him as a freewill offering. A calf, a lamb, or a kid belongs to the Lord, 27but the first-born of an unclean animal may be bought back at the standard price plus an additional 20 percent. If it is not bought back, it may be sold to someone else at the standard price.

Nu 18.14
None of you may sell or buy back what you have unconditionally dedicated#27.28: unconditionally dedicated: Anything dedicated in this way belonged completely to the Lord and could not be used; it had to be destroyed. to the Lord, whether it is a human being, an animal, or land. It belongs permanently to the Lord. 29Not even human beings who have been unconditionally dedicated may be bought back; they must be put to death.
30 #
Nu 18.21; Dt 14.22-29 One tenth of all the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, belongs to the Lord. 31If you wish to buy any of it back, you must pay the standard price plus an additional 20 percent. 32One of every ten domestic animals belongs to the Lord. When the animals are counted, every tenth one belongs to the Lord. 33You may not arrange the animals so that the poor animals are chosen, and you may not make any substitutions. If you do substitute one animal for another, then both animals will belong to the Lord and may not be bought back.
34These are the commands that the Lord gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the people of Israel.
