1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall
be for the LORD by thy estimation.
3 And thy estimation shall be of the
male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation
shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it be a female, then
thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it be from five
years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the
male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6 And if it be from a month
old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male
five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be
three shekels of silver.
7 And if it be from sixty
years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be
fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than thy
estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the
priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the
priest value him.
9 And if it be a beast,
whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man
giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change
it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change
beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
11 And if it be any unclean
beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall
present the beast before the priest:
12 And the priest shall value it,
whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest,
so shall it be.
13 But if he will at all redeem it,
then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
14 And when a man shall
sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall
estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it,
so shall it stand.
15 And if he that sanctified it will
redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of
thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto
the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy
estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed
shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
17 If he sanctify his field from the
year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctify his field
after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money
according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and
it shall be abated from thy estimation.
19 And if he that sanctified the
field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part
of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
20 And if he will not redeem the
field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be
redeemed any more.
21 But the field, when it goeth out
in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the
possession thereof shall be the priests.
22 And if a man sanctify unto
the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields
of his possession;
23 Then the priest shall reckon unto
him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile:
and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing
unto the LORD.
24 In the year of the jubile the
field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to
whom the possession of the land did belong.
25 And all thy estimations shall be
according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the
shekel.
26 Only the firstling of the beasts,
which should be the LORDS firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it
be ox, or sheep: it is the LORDS.
27 And if it be of an unclean
beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and
shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed,
then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing,
that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of
man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or
redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
29 None devoted, which shall be
devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to
death.
30 And all the tithe of the land, whether
of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the
LORDS: it is holy unto the LORD.
31 And if a man will at all redeem ought
of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the
herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod,
the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
33 He shall not search whether it be
good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then
both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the
commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in
mount Sinai.
