Leviticus
27
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say
to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised
his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.
If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years
old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the
weight of the sanctuary:
If a woman, thirty.
But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall
give twenty sicles: a woman ten.
From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall
be given five sides: for a female three.
A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give
fifteen aisles: a woman ten.
If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation,
he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he
shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much
shall he give.
But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally
one shall vow, shall be holy,
And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better
for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall
change it: both that which was changed, and that for
which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.
An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the
Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the
priest:
Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the
price:
Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add
above the estimation the fifth part.
If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the
Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good
or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price,
which he shall appoint.
But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give
the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and
shall have the house.
And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate
it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to
the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with
thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides
of silver.
If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee
that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so
much it shall be rated.
But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the
money according to the number of years that remain until
the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.
And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he
shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation,
and shall possess it.
And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any
other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:
For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified
to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth
to the right of the priests.
If a field that was bought, and not of a man's ancestors'
possession, be sanctified to the Lord,
The priest shall reckon the price according to the number
of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall
give that to the Lord.
But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner,
who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.
All estimation shall be made according to the side of
the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.
The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may
sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they
are the Lord's.
And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall
redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add
the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it,
it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was
estimated by thee.
Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be
man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither
may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall
be holy of holies to the Lord.
And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not
be redeemed, but dying shall die.
All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits
of trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him.
And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add
the fifth part of them.
Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that
pass under the shepherd's rod, every tenth that cometh
shall be sanctified to the Lord.
It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither
shall it be changed for another. If any man change it:
both that which was changed, and that for which it was
changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall
not be redeemed.
These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses
for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
