Chapter 27

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto the children of Israel, and say¹ unto them, When a man shall make a singular⁵⁵ vow, the persons [shall be] for the LORD by thy estimation.

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.

And if it [be] a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

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.

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.

And if [it be] from sixty years old and above; if [it be] a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen ⁶²⁴⁰ shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

But if he be poorer⁶ than thy estimation, then he shall present⁵² himself before the priest, and the priest shall value⁵² him; according to his ability ^{5381 55} that vowed⁶ shall the priest value⁵⁵ him.

And if [it be] a beast, whereof men bring⁵⁵ an offering unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth⁴ of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

He shall not alter⁵⁵ it, nor change⁵⁵ it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all⁵³ change⁵⁵ beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer⁵⁵ a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present⁵² the beast before the priest:

And the priest shall value⁵² it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, [who art] the priest, so shall it be.

But if he will at all² redeem⁴ it, then he shall add¹ a fifth [part] thereof unto thy estimation.

And when a man shall sanctify⁵⁵ his house [to be] holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate⁵² it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate⁵⁵ it, so shall it stand.⁴

And if he that sanctified⁵⁶ it will redeem⁴ his house, then he shall add¹ the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.

And if a man shall sanctify⁵⁵ unto the LORD [some part] of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.

If he sanctify⁵⁵ his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.⁴

But if he sanctify⁵⁵ his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon¹⁴ unto him the money according to the years that remain,¹² even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated⁸ from thy estimation.

And if he that sanctified⁵⁶ the field will in any wise² redeem⁴ it, then he shall add¹ the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured¹ to him.

And if he will not redeem⁴ the field, or if he have sold¹ the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed¹¹ any more.

But the field, when it goeth out² in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

And if [a man] sanctify⁵⁵ unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which [is] not of the fields of his possession;

Then the priest shall reckon¹⁴ unto him the worth of thy estimation, [even] unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give¹ thine estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing unto the LORD.

In the year of the jubile the field shall return⁴ unto him of whom it was bought,¹ [even] to him to whom the possession of the land [did belong].

And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling,²⁹ no man shall sanctify⁵⁵ it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep: it [is] the LORD'S.

And if [it be] of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem¹ [it] according to thine estimation, and shall add¹ a fifth [part] of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed,¹¹ then it shall be sold⁸ according to thy estimation.

Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote⁵⁵ unto the LORD of all that he hath, [both] of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold¹¹ or redeemed:¹¹ every devoted thing [is] most holy unto the LORD.

None devoted, which shall be devoted⁹³ of men, shall be redeemed;¹¹ [but] shall surely² be put to death.⁹³

And all the tithe of the land, [whether] of the seed of the land, [or] of the fruit of the tree, [is] the LORD'S: [it is] holy unto the LORD.

And if a man will at all² redeem⁴ [ought] of his tithes, he shall add⁵⁵ thereto the fifth [part] thereof.

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth⁴ under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

He shall not search¹⁷ whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change⁵⁵ it: and if he change⁵⁵ it at all,⁵³ then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.¹¹

These [are] the commandments, which the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
