Leviticus:27

Seeker Overlay ON

* And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying : * Speak unto the children of Israel , and say unto them : When a man shall clearly utter a vow of persons unto the LORD , according to thy valuation , * then thy valuation shall be for the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old , even thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver , after the shekel of the sanctuary . * And if it be a female , then thy valuation shall be thirty shekels . * And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old , then thy valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels , and for the female ten shekels . * And if it be from a month old even unto five years old , then thy valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver , and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver . * And if it be from sixty years old and upward : if it be a male , then thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels , and for the female ten shekels . * But if he be too poor for thy valuation , then he shall be set before the priest , and the priest shall value him ; according to the means of him that vowed shall the priest value him . * 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 . * 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 both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy . * And if it be any unclean beast , of which they may not bring an offering unto the LORD , then he shall set the beast before the priest . * And the priest shall value it , whether it be good or bad ; as thou the priest valuest it , so shall it be . * But if he will indeed redeem it , then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy valuation . * And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD , then the priest shall value it , whether it be good or bad ; as the priest shall value it , so shall it stand . * And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house , then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it , and it shall be his . * And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession , then thy valuation shall be according to the sowing thereof ; the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver . * If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee , according to thy valuation it shall stand . * But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee , then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee , and an abatement shall be made from thy valuation . * And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it , then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it , and it shall be assured to him . * 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 . * But the field , when it goeth out in the jubilee , shall be holy unto the LORD , as a field devoted ; the possession thereof shall be the priest 's . * And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought , which is not of the field of his possession ; * then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee ; and he shall give thy valuation in that day , as a holy thing unto the LORD . * In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought , even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth . * And all thy valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary ; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel . * Howbeit the firstling among beasts , which is born as a firstling to the LORD , no man shall sanctify it ; whether it be ox or sheep , it is the LORD 'S . * And if it be of an unclean beast , then he shall ransom it according to thy valuation , and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof ; or if it be not redeemed , then it shall be sold according to thy valuation . * Notwithstanding , no devoted thing , that a man may devote unto the LORD of all that he hath , whether of man or beast , or of the field of his possession , shall be sold or redeemed ; every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD . * None devoted , that may be devoted of men , shall be ransomed ; he shall surely be put to death . * And all the tithe of the land , whether of the seed of the land , or of the fruit of the tree , is the LORD 'S ; it is holy unto the LORD . * And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe , he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof . * And all the tithe of the herd or the flock , whatsoever passeth under the rod , the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD . * He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad , neither shall he change it ; and if he change it at all , then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy ; it shall not be redeemed . * These are the commandments , which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai .
