rsv@Leviticus:27:2 @ "Say to the people of Israel, When a man makes a special vow of persons to the LORD at your valuation,
rsv@Leviticus:27:3 @ then your valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
rsv@Leviticus:27:4 @ If the person is a female, your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
rsv@Leviticus:27:5 @ If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
rsv@Leviticus:27:6 @ If the person is from a month old up to five years old, your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
rsv@Leviticus:27:7 @ And if the person is sixty years old and upward, then your valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
rsv@Leviticus:27:8 @ And if a man is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall bring the person before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed the priest shall value him.
rsv@Leviticus:27:9 @ "If it is an animal such as men offer as an offering to the LORD, all of such that any man gives to the LORD is holy.
rsv@Leviticus:27:10 @ He shall not substitute anything for it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he makes any exchange of beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy.
rsv@Leviticus:27:11 @ And if it is an unclean animal such as is not offered as an offering to the LORD, then the man shall bring the animal before the priest,
rsv@Leviticus:27:12 @ and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.
rsv@Leviticus:27:13 @ But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation.
rsv@Leviticus:27:14 @ "When a man dedicates his house to be holy to the LORD, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.
rsv@Leviticus:27:15 @ And if he who dedicates it wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall be his.
rsv@Leviticus:27:16 @ "If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the land which is his by inheritance, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it; a sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
rsv@Leviticus:27:17 @ If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, it shall stand at your full valuation;
rsv@Leviticus:27:18 @ but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall compute the money-value for it according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from your valuation.
rsv@Leviticus:27:19 @ And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of the valuation in money to it, and it shall remain his.
rsv@Leviticus:27:20 @ But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more;
rsv@Leviticus:27:21 @ but the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field that has been devoted; the priest shall be in possession of it.
rsv@Leviticus:27:22 @ If he dedicates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not a part of his possession by inheritance,
rsv@Leviticus:27:23 @ then the priest shall compute the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the amount of the valuation on that day as a holy thing to the LORD.
rsv@Leviticus:27:24 @ In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession by inheritance.
rsv@Leviticus:27:25 @ Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.
rsv@Leviticus:27:26 @ "But a firstling of animals, which as a firstling belongs to the LORD, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD's.
rsv@Leviticus:27:27 @ And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at your valuation, and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at your valuation.
rsv@Leviticus:27:28 @ "But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD, of anything that he has, whether of man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.
rsv@Leviticus:27:29 @ No one devoted, who is to be utterly destroyed from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall be put to death.
rsv@Leviticus:27:30 @ "All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD's; it is holy to the LORD.
rsv@Leviticus:27:31 @ If a man wishes to redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
rsv@Leviticus:27:32 @ And all the tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the LORD.
rsv@Leviticus:27:33 @ A man shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed."
rsv@Leviticus:27:34 @ These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
