1Then#Or “And” Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to the Israelites,#Literally “sons/children of Israel” and say#Or “and you shall say” to them, ‘When a man makes a vow according to your#Singular when modifying “proper value” throughout the entire chapter proper value of persons to Yahweh, 3if#Or “and” your proper value is for a male#Hebrew “the male” from twenty years of age#Literally “a son of twenty years” up to#Or “and up to” sixty years of age,#Literally “a son of sixty years” then#Or “and” your proper value shall be fifty shekels of money according to the sanctuary’s shekel. 4But#Or “And” if it is for a female, then#Or “and” your proper value shall be thirty shekels. 5And if from five years of age#Literally “a son of five years” up to#Or “and up to” twenty years of age,#Literally “a son of twenty years” then#Or “and” your proper value shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female. 6And if from a month of age#Literally “a son of a month” up to#Or “and up to” five years of age,#Literally “a son of five years” then#Or “and” your proper value shall be five shekels of money for the male, and your proper value for the female shall be three shekels of money. 7And if from sixty years of age#Literally “a son of sixty years” and above: if a male, then#Or “and” your proper value shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female, ten shekels. 8But#Or “And” if he is poorer than your proper value, then#Or “and” he shall present himself before#Literally “to the faces of” the priest, and the priest shall set a value on him; the priest shall value him according to#Literally “on a mouth of” what the person who made a vow can afford.#Literally “his hand produces”
9“ ‘And if it is a domestic animal from which they present an offering for Yahweh, all that he gives from it for Yahweh shall be a holy object. 10He shall not replace it, nor shall he exchange it, either good with bad or bad with good; and if he indeed exchanges a domestic animal with a domestic animal, then#Or “and” it and its substitution shall be a holy object.#Literally “it shall be and its substitution shall be holy” 11But#Or “And” if it is any unclean animal from which they may not present an offering for Yahweh, then#Or “and” he shall present the animal before#Literally “to the faces of” the priest. 12And the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad;#Literally “between good and between bad” as the priest sets your proper value, so it shall be. 13And if he indeed wants to redeem it, then#Or “and” he shall add a fifth of it onto your proper value.
14“ ‘And if a man consecrates his house as a holy object for Yahweh, then#Or “and” the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad;#Literally “between good and between bad” just as the priest sets a value on it, so it shall remain. 15But#Or “And” if the one who consecrates it wants to redeem his house, then#Or “and” he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall be his.
16“ ‘And if a man consecrates some of#Literally “from” his property’s fields#Collective singular; Hebrew “field” for Yahweh, then#Or “and” your proper value shall be in accordance with its seed requirements:#Literally “to the number of its seed” a homer of barley seed for fifty shekels of money. 17If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand as your proper value. 18But#Or “And” if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then#Or “and” the priest shall calculate the money for him according to the number of years#Literally “on the mouth of the years” that are left over until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your proper value. 19And if he indeed redeems the field that is consecrated, then#Or “and” he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall stand for#Or “remain for” or “belong to” him. 20And if he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again, 21and the field shall be a holy object for Yahweh when it goes out#Or “is released” or “reverts” in the Jubilee, like a devoted#Or “permanently set apart”; a different Hebrew word than previously translated “consecrated” in this chapter field; it shall be the priest’s property.#Literally “to/for the priest it shall be his property”
22“ ‘And if he consecrates for Yahweh his acquired#Or “purchased” field that is not the field of his inherited possession, 23then#Or “and” the priest shall calculate for him the amount#Literally “number” of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day as a holy object for Yahweh. 24In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land is. 25And every proper value of yours shall be in the sanctuary’s shekel—the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
26“ ‘However, a man shall not consecrate a firstborn among livestock, which belongs as firstborn to Yahweh; whether an ox or#Literally “whether” or “if” small livestock, it is for Yahweh. 27And if it is among the unclean animals, then#Or “and” he shall ransom it according to your proper value, and he shall add a fifth of its value onto it; and if it is not redeemed, then#Or “and” it shall be sold according to your proper value. 28However, anything devoted#Or “permanently set apart”; a different Hebrew word than previously translated “consecrated” in this chapter that a man has devoted to Yahweh from all that he has,#Literally “from all that is for him” from human or#Or “and” animal, or#Or “and” from the field of his property, may not be sold, and it may not be redeemed; anything devoted is a most holy thing#Literally “a holy thing of holy things” for Yahweh. 29Anyone devoted who is devoted from human beings#Literally “the human” cannot be ransomed—he shall surely be put to death.
30“ ‘And any tithe of the land from the land’s seed or from the fruit of the trees is for Yahweh; it is a holy object for Yahweh. 31And if a man indeed redeems from his tithe, he shall add a fifth of its value onto it. 32As for#Or “And” every tithe of cattle or#Or “and” of the flock,#The Hebrew term refers collectively to both sheep and goats (small livestock animals) all which crosses under the rod, the tenth shall be a holy object for Yahweh. 33He shall not inspect between the good and the bad, and he shall not exchange it; but#Or “and” if he indeed exchanges it, then#Or “and” it and its substitution shall be#Literally “it shall be and its substitution shall be” a holy object—it shall not be redeemed.’ ”

1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man separates a vow, by your evaluation of lives unto יהוה,
3when your evaluation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your evaluation shall be fifty sheqels of silver, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place.
4‘And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty sheqels;
5and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your evaluation for a male shall be twenty sheqels, and for a female ten sheqels;
6and if from a new moon#Or a month. old up to five years old, then your evaluation for a male shall be five sheqels of silver, and for a female your evaluation shall be three sheqels of silver;
7and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your evaluation shall be fifteen sheqels, and for a female ten sheqels.
8‘But if he is too poor to pay your evaluation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value for him. According to the ability of him who vowed, the priest shall value him.
9‘And if it is a beast of which they bring an offering to יהוה, all such given to יהוה is set-apart.
10‘He is not to replace it or exchange it, good for spoilt or spoilt for good. And if he at all exchanges beast for beast, then both it and the one exchanged for it is set-apart.
11‘And if it is any unclean beast of which they do not bring an offering to יהוה, then he shall present the beast before the priest;
12and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or spoilt. According to your evaluation, O priest, so it shall be.
13‘But if he indeed redeems it, then he shall add one-fifth to your evaluation.
14‘And when a man sets his house apart, to be set-apart to יהוה, then the priest shall value it, whether it is good or spoilt. As the priest values it, so it stands.
15‘And if he who sets it apart does redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall be his.
16‘And if a man sets apart to יהוה a field he owns, then your evaluation shall be according to the seed for it – a ḥomer of barley seed at fifty sheqels of silver.
17‘If he sets his field apart from the Year of Yoḇel, according to your evaluation it stands.
18‘But if he sets his field apart after the Yoḇel, then the priest shall reckon to him the silver due according to the years that remain till the Year of Yoḇel, and it shall be deducted from your evaluation.
19‘And if he who sets the field apart ever wishes to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall be his.
20‘And if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it is no longer redeemed,
21but the field, when it is released in the Yoḇel, is set-apart to יהוה as a dedicated field, to be the possession of the priest.
22‘And if a man sets apart to יהוה a field which he has bought, which is not the field of his possession,
23then the priest shall reckon to him the amount of your evaluation, up to the Year of Yoḇel, and he shall give your evaluation on that day, set-apart to יהוה.
24‘In the Year of Yoḇel the field returns to him from whom he bought it, to him whose is the possession of the land.
25‘And all your evaluations are to be according to the sheqel of the set-apart place: twenty gĕrahs to the sheqel.
26‘However, a first-born of the beasts, which is first-born to יהוה, no man sets it apart – whether bull or sheep, it belongs to יהוה.
27‘And if among the unclean beasts, then he shall ransom it according to your evaluation, and shall add one-fifth to it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your evaluation.
28‘However, whatever a man lays under ban for יהוה of all that he has, man and beast, or the field of his possession, is not sold or redeemed. Whatever is laid under ban is most set-apart to יהוה.
29‘No one under the ban, under the ban among men, is ransomed, but shall certainly be put to death.
30‘And all the tithe of the land – of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree – belongs to יהוה. It is set-apart to יהוה.
31‘If a man indeed redeems any of his tithes, he adds one-fifth to it.
32‘And the entire tithe of the herd and of the flock, all that passes under the rod, the tenth one is set-apart to יהוה.
33‘He does not inquire whether it is good or spoilt, nor does he exchange it. And if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it are set-apart, it is not redeemed.’ ”
34These are the commands which יהוה commanded Mosheh for the children of Yisra’ĕl on Mount Sinai.
