Leviticus 27:1-18

Holy to Yahweh

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘^aWhen a man makes a difficult vow, he shall be valued according to your valuation of persons belonging to Yahweh. 3 If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be ¹fifty shekels of silver, according to ^athe shekel of the sanctuary. 4 Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. 5 If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels. 6 But if they are from a month even up to five years old, then your valuation shall be ^afive shekels of silver for the male, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 7 If they are from sixty years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be ¹presented before the priest, and the priest shall value him; ^aaccording to ²the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.
9 ‘Now if it is an animal of the kind which ¹men can bring near as an offering to Yahweh, any such that one gives to Yahweh shall be holy. 10 ^aHe shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. 11 If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which ¹men do not bring near as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall ²present the animal before the priest. 12 And the priest shall value it ¹as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be. 13 But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.
14 ‘Now if a man sets his house apart as holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall value it ¹as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand. 15 Yet if the one who sets it apart as holy should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.
16 ‘Again, if a man sets apart as holy to Yahweh a portion of the fields of his own possession, then your valuation shall be ¹proportionate to the seed needed for it: a ²homer of barley seed at ³fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he sets apart his field as holy from the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. 18 If he sets apart his field as holy after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for ¹him ²proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.
