| 27:1 |
The LORD said to Moses,
|
| 27:2 |
'Say to the people of Israel, When a man makes a special vow of persons to the LORD at your valuation,
|
| 27:3 |
then your valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
|
| 27:4 |
If the person is a female, your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
|
| 27:5 |
If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
|
| 27:6 |
If the person is from a month old up to five years old, your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
|
| 27:7 |
And if the person is sixty years old and upward, then your valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
|
| 27:8 |
And if a man is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall bring the person before the priest, and the priest shall value him;according to the ability of him who vowed the priest shall value him.
|
| 27:9 |
'If it is an animal such as men offer as an offering to the LORD, all of such that any man gives to the LORD is holy.
|
| 27:10 |
He shall not substitute anything for it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good;and if he makes any exchange of beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
|
| 27:11 |
And if it is an unclean animal such as is not offered as an offering to the LORD, then the man shall bring the animal before the priest,
|
| 27:12 |
and the priest shall value it as either good or bad;as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.
|
| 27:13 |
But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation.
|
| 27:14 |
'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to the LORD, the priest shall value it as either good or bad;as the priest values it, so it shall stand.
|
| 27:15 |
And if he who dedicates it wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall be his.
|
| 27:16 |
'If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the land which is his by inheritance, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it;a sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
|
| 27:17 |
If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, it shall stand at your full valuation;
|
| 27:18 |
but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall compute the money-value for it according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from your valuation.
|
| 27:19 |
And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall remain his.
|
| 27:20 |
But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
|
| 27:21 |
but the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field that has been devoted;the priest shall be in possession of it.
|
| 27:22 |
If he dedicates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not a part of his possession by inheritance,
|
| 27:23 |
then the priest shall compute the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the amount of the valuation on that day as a holy thing to the LORD.
|
| 27:24 |
In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession by inheritance.
|
| 27:25 |
Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.
|
| 27:26 |
'But a firstling of animals, which as a firstling belongs to the LORD, no man may dedicate;whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD's.
|
| 27:27 |
And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at your valuation, and add a fifth to it;or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at your valuation.
|
| 27:28 |
'But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD, of anything that he has, whether of man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed;every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.
|
| 27:29 |
No one devoted, who is to be utterly destroyed from among men, shall be ransomed;he shall be put to death.
|
| 27:30 |
'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD's;it is holy to the LORD.
|
| 27:31 |
If a man wishes to redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
|
| 27:32 |
And all the tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the LORD.
|
| 27:33 |
A man shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it;and if he exchanges it, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy;it shall not be redeemed.'
|
| 27:34 |
These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
