¹Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, ²“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘Concerning anyone who makes a special vow, when you value people dedicated to the Lord, ³then as regards your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old, your valuation will be fifty silver shekels according to the holy shekel. ⁴And if it is for a female, your valuation will be thirty shekels. ⁵And if it is for a five-year-old to a twenty-year-old, then your valuation for a male will be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. ⁶And if the person is from a month old to five years old, then your valuation of a male will be five silver shekels, and for a female your valuation will be three silver shekels. ⁷And if the person is from sixty years upwards, if it is a male, then your valuation will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels. ⁸Now if he is too poor for your valuation, then he will be presented before the priest, and the priest will value him. The priest will value him according to what the vower can afford. ⁹And if it is cattle from which men offer an oblation to the Lord, everything from which he gives to the Lord will be holy. ¹⁰He shall not change it and he shall not exchange it – neither good for bad nor bad for good – and if he does after all exchange cattle for cattle, the original and its exchange will be holy. ¹¹And if it is any unclean cattle from which no oblation is made to the Lord, then he will place the cattle before the priest, ¹²and the priest will value it as to whether it is good or bad. According to your valuation, O priest, so it will be. ¹³And if he redeems it at all, then he will add a fifth to your valuation. ¹⁴And if a man consecrates his house to be holy to the Lord, then the priest will value it, as to whether it is good or bad. As the priest values it, so it shall stand. ¹⁵And if he who consecrates it redeems his house, then he will add a fifth to the sum of your valuation, and it will be his. ¹⁶And if a man consecrates land he owns to the Lord, then your valuation will be according to the seed it yields: a homer of barley seed to fifty shekels of silver. ¹⁷If he consecrates his land in the Jubilee year, it will stand according to your valuation. ¹⁸But if he consecrates his land after the Jubilee, then the priest will calculate for him the sum according to the remaining years up to the Jubilee year, and there will be a deduction from your valuation. ¹⁹And if he who consecrates it redeems the land at all, he will add one fifth of the sum of your valuation to it, and it will be confirmed as his. ²⁰And if he does not redeem the land, and if he sells the land to another man, it will not be redeemed any more. ²¹And the land will be holy to the Lord when it goes out in the Jubilee, as dedicated land: his possession will belong to the priest. ²²And if anyone consecrates to the Lord a purchased field which is not land originally owned by him, ²³then the priest will calculate for him the amount of your valuation to the Jubilee year, and he who consecrates it will give your valuation on that day as a holy thing to the Lord. ²⁴In the Jubilee year the land will return to him from whom he bought it – to him whose possession it is in the land. ²⁵And all your valuing will be according to the holy shekel; there will be twenty gerahs to the shekel. ²⁶But as for a firstling that is born to the Lord among the cattle, no man will consecrate it, whether it is an ox or a lamb, it is the Lord's. ²⁷And if it is from unclean cattle, then he will ransom it according to your valuation, and he will add a fifth of it to it. And if it is not redeemed, it will be sold at your valuation. ²⁸But every dedication that a man dedicates to the Lord, from anything he has, whether a man or cattle or land in his possession – it shall not be sold, and it shall not be redeemed. Every dedication is a holy of holies to the Lord. ²⁹No dedication which is dedicated by man will be redeemed, under penalty of certainly being put to death. ³⁰And every tithe of the land, whether from seed of the land or from fruit of the tree is the Lord's. It is holy to the Lord. ³¹And if a man redeems anything at all of his tithe, he will add a fifth to it. ³²And as for every tithe of oxen or sheep, everything that passes under the staff, a tenth of it will be holy to the Lord. ³³He shall not search out whether it is good or bad, and he will not exchange it. And if he does after all exchange it, then it will be the case that both it and the exchange will be holy. It will not be redeemed.’ ” ³⁴These are the commandments with which the Lord charged Moses concerning the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai.
