⁷And if from sixty years of age^u and above: if a male, then^v your proper value shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female, ten shekels. ⁸But^w if he is poorer than your proper value, then^x he shall present himself before^y the priest, and the priest shall set a value on him; the priest shall value him according to^z what the person who made a vow can afford.^a

⁹“ ‘And if it is a domestic animal from which they present an offering for Yahweh, all that he gives from it for Yahweh shall be a holy object. ¹⁰He shall not replace it, nor shall he exchange it, either good with bad or bad with good; and if he indeed exchanges a domestic animal with a domestic animal, then^b it and its substitution shall be a holy object.^c ¹¹But^d if it is any unclean animal from which they may not present an offering for Yahweh, then^e he shall present the animal before^f the priest. ¹²And the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad;^g as the priest sets your proper value, so it shall be. ¹³And if he indeed wants to redeem it, then^h he shall add a fifth of it onto your proper value.

¹⁴“ ‘And if a man consecrates his house as a holy object for Yahweh, thenⁱ the priest shall set a value on it, either good or bad;^j just as the priest sets a value on it, so it shall remain. ¹⁵But^k if the one who consecrates it wants to redeem his house, then^l he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall be his.

¹⁶“ ‘And if a man consecrates some of^m his property’s fieldsⁿ for Yahweh, then^o your proper value shall be in accordance with its seed requirements:^p a homer of barley seed for fifty shekels of money. ¹⁷If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand as your proper value. ¹⁸But^q if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then^r the priest shall calculate the money for him according to the number of years^s that are left over until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your proper value. ¹⁹And if he indeed redeems the field that is consecrated, then^t he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall stand for^u him. ²⁰And if he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again, ²¹and the field shall be a holy object for Yahweh when it goes out^v in the Jubilee, like a devoted^w field; it shall be the priest’s property.^x

²²“ ‘And if he consecrates for Yahweh his acquired^y field that is not the field of his inherited possession, ²³then^z the priest shall calculate for him the amount^a of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day as a holy object for Yahweh. ²⁴In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land is.
