* And the Lord spoke unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto the children of Israel , and say unto them , If a man make a particular vow , the estimated value of persons in honor of the Lord : * If the estimated value concern a male from twenty years old , and unto sixty years old , then shall the estimation be fifty shekels of silver , after the shekel of the sanctuary . * And if it be a female , then shall the estimation be thirty shekels . * And if from five years old and unto twenty years old , then shall the estimation of the male be twenty shekels , and for the female ten shekels . * And if from a month old and unto five years old , then shall the estimation of the male be five shekels of silver , and for the female the estimation three shekels of silver . * And if from sixty years old and upward , if it be a male , then shall the estimation be fifteen shekels , and for the female ten shekels . * But if he be too poor for this estimation , then shall he present himself before the priest , and the priest shall value him ; according to the ability to pay of him that hath vowed shall the priest value him . * And if it he a beast , whereof men can bring an offering unto the Lord , all that a man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy . * He shall not alter it , nor change it , a good for a bad one , or a bad for a good one ; and if he should change beast for beast , then shall it together with its exchange be holy . * And if it be any unclean beast , of which they cannot offer a sacrifice unto the Lord , then shall he present the beast before the priest : * And the priest shall value it , whether it be good or bad ; as the priest valueth it , so shall it be . * And if he will redeem it , then shall he add a fifth part thereof unto the estimated value . * And if a man sanctify his house as holy unto the Lord , then shall the priest value it , whether it be good or bad ; as the priest may value it , so shall it stand . * And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house , then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it , and it shall remain his . * And if a man sanctify some part of a field of his possession unto the Lord , then shall the estimation be in proportion to its required seed : the seed of a chomer of barley at fifty shekels of silver . * If immediately after the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field , according to this estimation shall it stand . * But if after the jubilee he sanctify his field , then shall the priest reckon unto him the money in proportion to the years that remain , until the year of the jubilee , and it shall be deducted from the estimation . * And if he that sanctified the field will redeem it , then shall he add the fifth part of the money of the estimated value unto it , and it shall be assured to him . * But 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 is freed in the jubilee , shall be holy unto the Lord , as a devoted field : to the priest shall it belong as his possession . * And if a man sanctify a field which he hath bought , which is not of the fields of his possession , unto the Lord : * Then shall the priest reckon unto him the amount of the estimated value to the year of the jubilee ; and he shall give this estimation on that day , as a holy thing unto the Lord . * In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom he bought it , to the one to whom belongeth the possession of the land . * And all estimations of value shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary ; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel . * Only the first –born which shall , by being first born , be sacred unto the Lord among cattle , no man shall sanctify ; whether it be ox , or lamb , it is the Lord ’s . * And if it be an unclean animal , then shall he redeem it according to the estimated value , and he shall add its fifth part thereto ; and if it be not redeemed , then shall it be sold according to the estimated value . * But any devoted thing , which a man may devote unto the Lord of all that he hath , both of man and beast , and of the field of his possession , shall not be sold nor redeemed : every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord . * Any one condemned , who shall be condemned to death among men , shall not be redeemed : he shall be put to death . * And every tithe of the land , of the seed of the land , or of the fruit of the tree , belongeth to the Lord ; it is holy unto the Lord . * And if a man will redeem any part of his tithe , its fifth part shall he add thereto . * And concerning the tithe of the herds , or of the flocks , whatsoever passeth under the rod , the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord . * He shall not search whether it be good or bad , neither shall he change it : and if he should change it , then both it and the exchange thereof shall be holy ; it shall not be redeemed . * These are the commandments , which the Lord commanded Moses for the children on mount Sinai .
