Leviticus 27:2–28

²“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ^a‘When a man ¹consecrates by a vow certain persons to the Lord, according to your ²valuation, ³if your valuation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, ^baccording to the shekel of the sanctuary. ⁴If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels; ⁵and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your valuation for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels; ⁶and if from a month old up to five years old, then your valuation for a male shall be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver; ⁷and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

⁸‘But if he is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value for ^chim; according to the ability of him who vowed, the priest shall value him.

⁹‘If it is an animal that men may bring as an offering to the Lord, all that anyone gives to the Lord shall be holy. ¹⁰He shall not substitute it or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good; and if he at all exchanges animal for animal, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be ^dholy. ¹¹If it is an unclean animal which they do not offer as a sacrifice to the Lord, then he shall present the animal before the priest; ¹²and the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be. ^13eBut if he wants at all to redeem it, then he must add one-fifth to your valuation.

¹⁴‘And when a man ³dedicates his house to be holy to the Lord, then the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand. ¹⁵If he who dedicated it wants to ⁴redeem his house, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

¹⁶‘If a man ⁵dedicates to the Lord part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. ¹⁷If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. ¹⁸But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall ^freckon to him the money due according to the years that remain till the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation. ¹⁹And if he who dedicates the field ever wishes to redeem it, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall belong to him. ²⁰But if he does not want to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore; ²¹but the field, ^gwhen it is released in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the Lord, as a ^hdevoted field; it shall be ⁱthe possession of the priest.

²²‘And if a man dedicates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not the field of ^jhis possession, ²³then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation, up to the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day as a holy offering to the Lord. ^24kIn the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to the one who owned the land as a possession. ²⁵And all your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: ^ltwenty gerahs to the shekel.

²⁶‘But the ^mfirstborn of the animals, which should be the Lord’s firstborn, no man shall dedicate; whether it is an ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. ²⁷And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation, and ⁿshall add one-fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

^28o‘Nevertheless no ⁶devoted offering that a man may devote to the Lord of all that he has, both man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted offering is most holy to the Lord.
