The tithe may not be changed And if the person is sixty years of age or older In ancient Israel, reaching the age of sixty was significant, as it marked a transition into what was considered old age. This age was often associated with wisdom and experience, but also with a decrease in physical strength and economic productivity. The valuation system in Leviticus 27 reflects the practical realities of life expectancy and the ability to contribute labor, which was a key factor in determining a person's value in a vow offering. This age distinction underscores the community's recognition of the natural decline in physical capabilities and the corresponding adjustment in economic value. then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Understanding Value in God's EyesThe valuation system in Leviticus reflects the intrinsic value God places on each individual, regardless of age or gender. It reminds us that everyone has a role and purpose in God's plan. Commitment and Dedication The act of dedicating oneself or others to God, as seen in Leviticus, calls us to consider our own commitments to God. Are we fully dedicated in our time, resources, and talents? Equality and Fairness While the valuations differ, the system underscores a sense of fairness and order in the community. It prompts us to consider how we value others in our own communities and ensure fairness in our dealings. Stewardship of Resources The specific valuations remind us of the importance of being good stewards of our resources, dedicating them to God's work and purposes. Aging and Wisdom The reduced valuation for older individuals can be seen as a recognition of their wisdom and experience, rather than a decrease in worth. It encourages us to honor and learn from the elderly in our communities.(7) From sixty years old and above.--Being almost past labour, the old man is next in value to the child. A male . . . fifteen shekels.--The old man is therefore to be redeemed at 1 18s. 9d. The female ten shekels.--The old woman, from sixty and upwards, is estimated at exactly the same value as the girl from five to twenty years old (see Leviticus 27:5), and hence is to be redeemed at 1 5s. 10d. It will be seen that the disproportion between a man and a woman is not the same in old age as in youth. The authorities during the second Temple account for it by adducing the adage, "An old man in the house is always in the way; an old woman in the house is a treasure, she manages all household affairs."
