| 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When someone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value of persons, | 2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When someone makes a special vow to the LORD that involves the assessment of people, |
| 3if the valuation concerns a male from twenty to sixty years of age, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel. | 3if the assessment concerns a male from 20 to 60 years old, your assessment is 50 silver shekels measured by the standard sanctuary shekel. |
| 4Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. | 4If the person is a female, your assessment is 30 shekels. |
| 5And if the person is from five to twenty years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. | 5If the person is from five to 20 years old, your assessment for a male is 20 shekels and for a female 10 shekels. |
| 6Now if the person is from one month to five years of age, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female three shekels of silver. | 6If the person is from one month to five years old, your assessment for a male is five silver shekels, and for a female your assessment is three shekels of silver. |
| 7And if the person is sixty years of age or older, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female. | 7If the person is 60 years or more, your assessment is 15 shekels for a male and 10 shekels for a female. |
| 8But if the one making the vow is too poor to pay the valuation, he is to present the person before the priest, who shall set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford. | 8But if one is too poor to pay the assessment, he must present the person before the priest and the priest will set a value for him. The priest will set a value for him according to what the one making the vow can afford." |
| 9If he vows an animal that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD shall be holy. | 9If the vow involves one of the animals that may be brought as an offering to the LORD, any of these he gives to the LORD will be holy. |
| 10He must not replace it or exchange it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy. | 10He may not replace it or make a substitution for it, either good for bad, or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy." |

| 14Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it either as good or bad. The price will stand just as the priest values it. | 14When a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest will assess its value, whether high or low. The price will stand just as the priest assesses it. |
| 15But if he who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will belong to him. | 15But if the one who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will be his." |

| 22Now if a man consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not a part of his own property, | 22If a person consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased that is not part of his inherited landholding, |

But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute will be holy; they cannot be redeemed." |
