The LORD said to Moses, |
2
|
"Say to the people of Israel, When a man makes a special vow of persons to the LORD at your valuation, |
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. |
4
|
If the person is a female, your valuation shall be thirty shekels. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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, |
12
|
and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be. |
13
|
But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
17
|
If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, it shall stand at your full valuation; |
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. |
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. |
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; |
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. |
22
|
If he dedicates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not a part of his possession by inheritance, |
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. |
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. |
25
|
Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel. |
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
|
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. |
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. |
29
|
No one devoted, who is to be utterly destroyed from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall be put to death. |
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. |
31
|
If a man wishes to redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. |
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. |
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." |
34
|
These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai. |
