Leviticus 27:2–28

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 the Lord.

³‘If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after ^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 placed before the priest and the priest shall value him; ^aaccording to ¹the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

⁹‘Now if it is an animal of the kind which ¹men can present as an offering to the Lord, any such that one gives to the Lord 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 present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place the animal before the priest.

¹²‘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 consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, 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 consecrates it 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 consecrates to the Lord part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be ¹proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

¹⁷‘If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

¹⁸‘If he consecrates his field 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.

¹⁹‘If the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him.

²⁰‘Yet if he will not redeem the field, ¹but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

²¹and when it ¹reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field ²set apart; ^ait shall be for the priest as his ³property.

²²‘Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own ¹property,

²³then the priest shall calculate for ¹him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to the Lord.

²⁴‘In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

²⁵‘Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after ^athe shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

²⁶‘^aHowever, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s.

²⁷‘But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall ¹redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

²⁸‘Nevertheless, ^aanything which a man ¹sets apart to the Lord out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything ²devoted to destruction is most holy to the Lord.
