| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons
shall be for Jehovah by thy estimation. 3 And thy estimation shall be of
the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation
shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And
if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 5 And if
it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation
shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 And
if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall
be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation
shall be three shekels of silver. 7 And if it be from sixty years old and
upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and
for the female ten shekels. 8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation,
then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him;
according to the ability of him that vowed shall the priest value him.
9 And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto Jehovah, all
that any man giveth of such unto Jehovah shall be holy. 10 He shall not
alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he
shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is
changed shall be holy. 11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do
not offer an oblation unto Jehovah, then he shall set the beast before the
priest; 12 and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as
thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. 13 But if he will indeed
redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto Jehovah, then
the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall
estimate it, so shall it stand. 15 And if he that sanctified it will
redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy
estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto Jehovah part of the field of his
possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing thereof: the
sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of
silver. 17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to
thy estimation it shall stand. 18 But if he sanctify his field after the
jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the
years that remain unto the year of jubilee; and an abatement shall be made
from thy estimation. 19 And if he that sanctified the field will indeed
redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation
unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 20 And if he will not redeem the
field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed
any more: 21 but the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be
holy unto Jehovah, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the
priest's. 22 And if he sanctify unto Jehovah a field which he hath bought,
which is not of the field of his possession; 23 then the priest shall
reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubilee: and he
shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto Jehovah.
24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was
bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth. 25 And
all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty
gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to Jehovah,
no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's.
27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to
thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be
not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto Jehovah
of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his
possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto
Jehovah. 29 No one devoted, that shall be devoted from among men, shall be
ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of
the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's: it is holy unto Jehovah. 31 And if a
man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part
thereof. 32 And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth
under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Jehovah. 33 He shall not
search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he
change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be
holy; it shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses for the
children of Israel in mount Sinai.
