Leviticus 27
Revised Geneva Translation
27 Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘If, by your valuation, anyone shall make an extraordinary vow over a person to the LORD,
3 ‘then your valuation shall be—if it is a male from twenty years old to sixty years old—your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
4 ‘But if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5 ‘And, from five years old to twenty years old, your valuation shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.
6 ‘But, from a month old to five years old, your price for the male shall be five shekels of silver. And your price for the female: three shekels of silver.
7 ‘And, from sixty years old and above, if a male, then your price shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 ‘But if he is poorer than had been thought, then he shall present himself before the Priest, and the Priest shall value him according to the ability of he who vowed. The Priest shall value him.
9 ‘And, if it is a beast of which men bring an offering to the LORD, all that one gives of such to the LORD shall be holy.
10 ‘He shall not alter it or change it, a good for a bad nor a bad for a good. And if he changes beast for beast, then both this and that which was exchanged shall be holy.
11 ‘And if it is any unclean beast of which men do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, he shall then present the beast before the Priest.
12 ‘And the Priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you, the Priest, value it, so shall it be.
13 ‘But, if he will buy it again, then he shall give a fifth more for it above your valuation.
14 ‘Also, when a man shall dedicate his house to be holy to the LORD, then the Priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As the Priest shall price it, so shall the value be.
15 ‘But, if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall give for it a fifth more money than your estimation, and it shall be his.
16 ‘Also, if a man dedicates any ground of his inheritance to the LORD, then you shall value it according to its seed. An homer of barley seed shall be fifty shekels of silver.
17 ‘If he dedicates his field from the year of Jubilee, it shall be worth whatever you value it.
18 ‘But, if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the Priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain until the year of Jubilee. And it shall be deducted from your valuation.
19 ‘And if he who dedicates it will redeem the field, then he shall put a fifth of the price at which you valued it towards it. And it shall remain his.
20 ‘And if he will not redeem the field, but sells the field to another man, it shall be redeemed no more.
21 ‘But the field shall be holy to the LORD when it goes out in the Jubilee, as a field separate from common uses. The possession of it shall be the Priest’s.
22 ‘Also, if a man dedicates a field which he has bought to the LORD (which is not of the ground of his inheritance),
23 ‘then the Priest shall set the price to him as you value it, until the year of Jubilee. And he shall give your price the same day, holy, to the LORD.
24 ‘In the year of Jubilee, the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to him whose inheritance the land was.
25 And all the valuation shall be according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel contains twenty gerahs.
26 ‘But the firstborn of the beasts—because it is the LORD’s firstborn—no one shall dedicate, be it bullock or sheep. It is the LORD’s.
27 ‘But if it is an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it by your valuation and give a fifth more for it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
28 ‘Nevertheless, nothing separate from the common use which a man separates to the LORD of all that he has (whether man or beast or land of his inheritance) may be sold or redeemed. Everything separate from the common use is Most Holy to the LORD.
29 ‘Nothing separate from the common use which shall be separate from man, shall be redeemed, but die the death.
30 ‘Also, all the tithe of the land—of the seed of the ground and of the fruit of the trees—is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD.
31 ‘But if a man will redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
32 ‘And of every tithe of bullock, and of sheep, and of all that goes under the rod, a tenth shall be holy to the LORD.
33 ‘He shall not look if it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it. Because if he exchanges it, both it and that for which it was exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
34 These are the Commandments which the LORD commanded by Moses to the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
