²Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.

³If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sicles of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:

⁴If a woman, thirty.

⁵But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.

⁶From one month until the fifth year, for a male shall be given five sicles: for a female three.

⁷A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen sicles: a woman ten.

⁸If he be poor, and not able to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.

⁹But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if any one shall vow, shall be holy,

¹⁰And cannot be changed: that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.

¹¹An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if any man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:

¹²Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price.

¹³Which, if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.
