Leviticus 27
27
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
3If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sicles of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:
4If a woman, thirty.
5But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
6From one month until the fifth year, for a male shall be given five sicles: for a female three.
7A man that is sixty years old or upward shall give fifteen sicles: a woman ten.
8If he be poor, and not able to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.
9But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if any one shall vow, shall be holy,
10And cannot be changed: that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
11An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if any man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:
12Who judging whether it be good or bad shall set the price.
13Which, if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
14If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad: and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.
15But if he that vowed will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above: and shall have the house.
16And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sown with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sicles of silver.
17If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning: as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.
18But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.
19And if he that had vowed will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.
20And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it may not redeem it any more.
21For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord: and as a possession consecrated pertaineth to the right of the priests.
22If a field that was bought, and not of a man's ancestors' possession, be sanctified to the Lord:
23The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years, unto the jubilee. And he that had vowed shall give that to the Lord.
24But in the jubilee it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.
25All estimation shall be made according to the sicle of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
26The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord's.
27And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.
28Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold: neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.
29And any consecration that is offered by man shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.
30All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him.
31And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.
32Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd's rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the Lord.
33It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.
34These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

Divine Appraisals
1Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying,
2“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and say to them: When anyone makes a special vow to Adonai involving the valuation of persons,
3then your valuation of a male from 20 years old to 60 years old shall be 50 shekels of silver, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
4If it is a female, then your valuation shall be 30 shekels.
5If the person is from five years to 20 years old, then your valuation is to be 20 shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.
6If the person is from one month to five years old, then your valuation is to be five shekels of silver for a male and three shekels of silver for a female.
7If the person is from 60 years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuation is to be 15 shekels and for a female ten shekels.
8But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he is to be set before the kohen and the kohen will set a value for him, in keeping with what the one who made the vow can afford.
9“Now if it is an animal that may be brought as an offering to Adonai, anything that one gives to Adonai will be holy.
10He is not to replace it or exchange it, either good for bad, or bad for good. But if he does exchange one animal for another, then both it and the one for which it is exchanged will become holy.
11If it is any sort of unclean animal that may not be brought as an offering to Adonai, then he is to set that animal before the kohen.
12The kohen is to evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the kohen values it, so it will be.
13But if he would redeem it, then he is to add a fifth to its valuation.
14“If a man consecrates his house as holy to Adonai, then the kohen is to evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the kohen evaluates it, so it will stand.
15If the one who dedicates it would redeem his own house, then he is to add a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it will become his.
16“If one consecrates to Adonai part of the field of his possession, then your valuation is to be in proportion to the seed to sow it: an omer of barley at 50 shekels of silver.
17If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it will stand according to your own valuation.
18But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the kohen is to calculate for him the money according to the years that remain until the Year of Jubilee, with a deduction to be made from your valuation.
19If he who dedicated the field would ever redeem it, then he is to add a fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it will remain his.
20But if he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to someone else, it may not be redeemed anymore.
21But the field, when it is released in the Jubilee, will be holy to Adonai as a consecrated field. It will be owned by the kohanim.
22“Now if one consecrates to Adonai a field that he has bought, which is not from the fields of his possession,
23then the kohen is to calculate for him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee, and give your valuation on that day as a holy thing to Adonai.
24In the Year of Jubilee the field is to return to the one from whom it was bought, to the one to whom the possession of the land belongs.
25All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the Sanctuary, 20 gerahs to the shekel.
26“But the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Adonai, may not be dedicated by anyone. Whether an ox or sheep, it belongs to Adonai.
27If it is an unclean animal, then he is to buy it back according to your valuation, and add a fifth of the value to it. But if it is not redeemed, then it is to be sold according to your valuation.
28“Nevertheless, no devoted thing which a man sets apart from all that he has for Adonai, whether man or animal, or from the field of his possession, may be sold or redeemed. Every devoted thing is most holy to Adonai.
29“No one who may be set apart from men for destruction is to be ransomed. He is surely to be put to death.
30“All the tithe of the land whether from the seed of the land, or the fruit of the trees, belongs to Adonai, for it is holy to Adonai.
31If a man redeems anything of his tithe he must add a fifth part to it.
32From all the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, a tenth will be holy to Adonai.
33One is not to inquire if it is good or bad, nor exchange it. Or if he does exchange it, then both it and that for which it is exchanged will become holy, and may not be redeemed.”
34These are the mitzvot which Adonai commanded Moses for Bnei-Yisrael on Mount Sinai.
