Seeker Overlay ON

* And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the children of Israel , and say to them : When a man makes an extraordinary vow of his soul unto Jehovah by valuation , * if your valuation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old , then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver , according to the shekel of the sanctuary . * If it is a female , then your valuation shall be thirty shekels ; * and 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 ; * and 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 ; * and 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 . * 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 him ; according to what he who vowed is able to afford , the priest shall value him . * If it is an animal that men may bring as an offering unto Jehovah , all that anyone gives unto Jehovah shall be holy . * He shall not substitute it nor exchange it , good for bad or bad for good ; and if he at all exchanges beast for beast , then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy . * If it is an unclean beast which they do not offer as an offering unto Jehovah , then he shall present the beast before the priest ; * and the priest shall set a value for it , whether it is good or bad ; as you , the priest , value it , so it shall be . * But if he pays to redeem it , then he shall add one-fifth to your valuation . * And when a man consecrates his house to be holy unto Jehovah , then the priest shall set a value for it , whether it is good or bad ; as the priest values it , so it shall stand . * If he who consecrated it will redeem his house , then he shall add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it , and it shall be his . * If a man consecrates unto Jehovah 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 . * If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee , according to your valuation it shall stand . * But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee , then the priest shall reckon to him the money due according to the years that remain till the Year of Jubilee , and it shall be deducted from your valuation . * And if he who consecrates the field will pay to redeem it , then he shall add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it , and it shall be confirmed to him . * But if he does not redeem the field , or if he has sold the field to another man , it shall not be redeemed anymore ; * but the field , when it goes out in the Jubilee , shall be holy unto Jehovah , as a devoted field ; it shall be the possession of the priest . * And if a man consecrates unto Jehovah a field which he has bought , which is not the field of his possession , * then 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 unto Jehovah . * In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought , to the one who owns the land as a possession . * And all your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary : twenty gerahs to the shekel . * But the firstborn of the beasts , which is the firstborn unto Jehovah , no man shall consecrate ; whether ox or sheep : it is already Jehovah ’s . * And if it is an unclean beast , then he shall redeem it according to your valuation , and shall add one-fifth to it ; or if it is not redeemed , then it shall be sold according to your valuation . * Nevertheless no devoted thing that a man may devote unto Jehovah of all that he has , both man and beast , or the field of his possession , shall be sold or redeemed ; every devoted thing is set apart , holy , unto Jehovah . * No devoted thing , devoted for destruction by men , shall be redeemed , but shall die the death . * And all the tithe of the land , whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree , is Jehovah ’s . It is holy unto Jehovah . * If a man will pay to redeem any of his tithes , he shall add one-fifth to it . * And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock , of whatever passes under the rod , the tenth one shall be holy unto Jehovah . * He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad , nor shall he exchange it ; and if he makes a change to exchange it , then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy ; it shall not be redeemed . * These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai .
