| |
| | Lev 27:1 | Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
| |
| | Lev 27:2 | "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for Yahweh by your valuation.
| |
| | Lev 27:3 | Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
| |
| | Lev 27:4 | If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
| |
| | Lev 27:5 | If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
| |
| | Lev 27:6 | If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
| |
| | Lev 27:7 | If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
| |
| | Lev 27:8 | But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.
| |
| | Lev 27:9 | "'If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy.
| |
| | Lev 27:10 | 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 animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
| |
| | Lev 27:11 | If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest;
| |
| | Lev 27:12 | and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be.
| |
| | Lev 27:13 | But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
| |
| | Lev 27:14 | "'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand.
| |
| | Lev 27:15 | If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
| |
| | Lev 27:16 | "'If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
| |
| | Lev 27:17 | If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
| |
| | Lev 27:18 | But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation.
| |
| | Lev 27:19 | If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his.
| |
| | Lev 27:20 | If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
| |
| | Lev 27:21 | but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests.
| |
| | Lev 27:22 | "'If he dedicates to Yahweh a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession,
| |
| | Lev 27:23 | then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh.
| |
| | Lev 27:24 | In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
| |
| | Lev 27:25 | All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
| |
| | Lev 27:26 | "'Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Yahweh, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is Yahweh's.
| |
| | Lev 27:27 | If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it isn't redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
| |
| | Lev 27:28 | "'Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Yahweh.
| |
| | Lev 27:29 | "'No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
| |
| | Lev 27:30 | "'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh's. It is holy to Yahweh.
| |
| | Lev 27:31 | If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it.
| |
| | Lev 27:32 | All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh.
| |
| | Lev 27:33 | He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"
| |
| | Lev 27:34 | These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
