1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a
singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD 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 above; 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 present himself before the
priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed
shall the priest value him.
9 And
if it be a
beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth
of such unto the LORD 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 it and the exchange thereof
shall be holy.
11 And
if it be any
unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he
shall present the beast before the priest:
12 And
the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the
priest, so shall it be.
13 But
if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof
unto thy estimation.
14 And
when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, 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 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.
17 If
he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it
shall stand.
18 But
if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto
him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the
jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
19 And
if he that sanctified the field will in any wise 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 jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a
field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
22 And
if a man sanctify
unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of
the fields of his possession;
23 Then
the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto
the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy
thing unto the LORD.
24 In
the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to
him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
25 And
all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty
gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 Only
the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall
sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the
LORD'S.
27 And
if it be of
an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and
shall add a fifth part of it thereto: 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 the LORD of all that he hath, both of
man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed:
every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
29 None
devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but 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 the LORD'S: it is holy
unto the LORD.
31 And
if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto
the fifth part thereof.
32 And
concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of
whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
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 the change thereof shall be holy; it
shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the commandments,
which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
