Leviticus 27

1 The LORD told Moses,ISV — Leviticus 27:1

2 “Tell the Israelis that when a person ^{a27:2 Lit. man, and so throughout the chapter} makes a special vow based on the appropriate value of people who belong to the LORD,ISV — Leviticus 27:2

3 if your valuation of the vow ^{b27:3 The Heb. lacks of the vow} is for a male from 20 to 60 years old, the valuation is to be 50 shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.ISV — Leviticus 27:3

4 If she is a female from 20 to 60 years old, then your valuation is to be 30 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.ISV — Leviticus 27:4

5 If a person ^{c27:5 Lit. son of} is from five to 20 years, then your valuation for a male is to be 20 shekels and for a female ten shekels.ISV — Leviticus 27:5

6 If a person is from one month to five years old, then your valuation for a male is to be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation is to be three shekels of silver.ISV — Leviticus 27:6

7 If a person is 60 or more years old, then your valuation for a male is to be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels.ISV — Leviticus 27:7

8 But if he is too poor to be valuated, then cause him to stand before the priest and let the priest set a value on him according to the ability ^{d27:8 Lit. according to what the hand can reach} of the one making the vow.ISV — Leviticus 27:8

9 “If it’s an animal from which they make an offering to the LORD, everything that he gives to the LORD from it will be holy.ISV — Leviticus 27:9

10 He is not to substitute it or exchange it—the good with the bad or the bad with the good. If he ever makes an exchange of an animal for an animal, then it and what’s being exchanged is holy.ISV — Leviticus 27:10

11 If any animal is unclean, which cannot be brought to the LORD as an offering, make the animal stand in the presence of the priest,ISV — Leviticus 27:11

12 then the priest will evaluate it as to whether it is good or bad. According to your—that is, the priest’s—valuation, so it is to be.ISV — Leviticus 27:12

13 If a kinsman redeemer decides to redeem it, then he is to add a fifth to your valuation.”ISV — Leviticus 27:13

14 “If a person consecrates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest is to set a value for it as to its worth, whether good or bad. As the priest sets value on it, so it will stand.ISV — Leviticus 27:14

15 And if he that consecrated it wishes to redeem his house, he is to add one fifth to your valuation, after which it is to belong to him.ISV — Leviticus 27:15

16 “If a person consecrates to the LORD a portion of the field from his inheritance, then your valuation is to be based on its capacity for yielding a harvest. ^{e27:16 Lit. valuation according to seed for sowing} Each omer ^{f27:16 i.e. about two quarts} of barley is to be valued at 50 shekels of silver.ISV — Leviticus 27:16

17 If he consecrates his field in the year of jubilee, it is to be based on your valuation.ISV — Leviticus 27:17

18 If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, then the priest is to account to him the silver according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, with a deduction corresponding to your valuation.ISV — Leviticus 27:18

19 “If the one who consecrated the field intends to redeem it, then he is to add one fifth of your valuation to it in silver, then it is to be established as his.ISV — Leviticus 27:19

20 But if he won’t redeem the field, but instead sells it to another person, ^{g27:20 Lit. man} then it is not to be redeemed anymore.ISV — Leviticus 27:20

21 When the field is released in the jubilee, it will be holy to the LORD. As a field that’s devoted, it is to belong to the priest as his inheritance.ISV — Leviticus 27:21

22 If he consecrates a field that he had bought and that isn’t part of his inheritance,ISV — Leviticus 27:22

23 then the priest is to account to him the evaluated worth until the year of jubilee. Then he is to give the amount of valuation on that day as a holy gift to the LORD.ISV — Leviticus 27:23

24 During the year of jubilee, the field is to be returned by the one who originally sold it—that is, to the owner of the land.ISV — Leviticus 27:24

25 Every valuation is to be according to the shekel of the sanctuary, evaluated at 20 gerahs to the shekel.ISV — Leviticus 27:25

26 “No person is to consecrate the firstborn, because the firstborn of the animals already belongs to the LORD. Whether ox or goat, it belongs to the LORD.ISV — Leviticus 27:26

27 If it’s an unclean animal, then he is to ransom it according to your valuation, adding a fifth to it. If it’s not redeemed, then it is to be sold according to your valuation.ISV — Leviticus 27:27

28 However, any devoted thing that a person consecrates to the LORD from what he owns—whether man, animals, or inherited fields—is not to be sold or redeemed. Any devoted thing is most sacred. It belongs to the LORD.ISV — Leviticus 27:28

29 But anyone who is completely devoted from among human beings is not to be ransomed. He is certainly to be put to death.ISV — Leviticus 27:29

30 “Any tithes of the land—from grain grown on the land or from fruit grown on the trees—belong to the LORD. They are sacred to the LORD.ISV — Leviticus 27:30

31 But if a person wishes to redeem his tithe, he is to add a fifth to it.ISV — Leviticus 27:31

32 All the tithes from cattle and flocks that pass under the measuring rod are sacred to the LORD.ISV — Leviticus 27:32

33 He is not to examine it to see if it’s good or bad or even exchange it. If he does exchange it, what has been exchanged as well as its substitute ^{h27:33 The Heb. lacks substitute} is sacred. It is not to be redeemed.”ISV — Leviticus 27:33

34 These are the commands that the LORD commanded Moses to deliver ^{i27:34 The Heb. lacks deliver} to the Israelis on Mount Sinai.ISV — Leviticus 27:34
