| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. | 2"Speak to the Israelites and tell them, 'When a man makes a special votive offering based on the conversion value of persons to the LORD, |
| 3And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. | 3the conversion value of the male from twenty years old up to sixty years old is fifty shekels by the standard of the sanctuary shekel. |
| 4And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. | 4If the person is a female, the conversion value is thirty shekels. |
| 5And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. | 5If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the conversion value of the male is twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. |
| 6And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. | 6If the person is one month old up to five years old, the conversion value of the male is five shekels of silver, and for the female the conversion value is three shekels of silver. |
| 7And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. | 7If the person is from sixty years old and older, if he is a male the conversion value is fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. |
| 8But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. | 8If he is too poor to pay the conversion value, he must stand the person before the priest and the priest will establish his conversion value; according to what the man who made the vow can afford, the priest will establish his conversion value. |
| 9And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy. | 9"'If what is vowed is a kind of animal from which an offering may be presented to the LORD, anything which he gives to the LORD from this kind of animal will be holy. |
| 10He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy. | 10He must not replace or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good, and if he does indeed exchange one animal for another animal, then both the original animal and its substitute will be holy. |
| 11And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest: | 11If what is vowed is an unclean animal from which an offering must not be presented to the LORD, then he must stand the animal before the priest, |
| 12And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be. | 12and the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. According to the assessed conversion value of the priest, thus it will be. |
| 13But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. | 13If, however, the person who made the vow redeems the animal, he must add one fifth to its conversion value. |
| 14And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. | 14"'If a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest will establish its conversion value, whether good or bad. Just as the priest establishes its conversion value, thus it will stand. |
| 15And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his. | 15If the one who consecrates it redeems his house, he must add to it one fifth of its conversion value in silver, and it will belong to him. |
| 16And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. | 16"'If a man consecrates to the LORD some of his own landed property, the conversion value must be calculated in accordance with the amount of seed needed to sow it, a homer of barley seed being priced at fifty shekels of silver. |
| 17If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand. | 17If he consecrates his field in the jubilee year, the conversion value will stand, |
| 18But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation. | 18but if he consecrates his field after the jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him according to the years that are left until the next jubilee year, and it will be deducted from the conversion value. |
| 19And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. | 19If, however, the one who consecrated the field redeems it, he must add to it one fifth of the conversion price and it will belong to him. |
| 20And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. | 20If he does not redeem the field, but sells the field to someone else, he may never redeem it. |
| 21But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's. | 21When it reverts in the jubilee, the field will be holy to the LORD like a permanently dedicated field; it will become the priest's property. |
| 22And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; | 22"'If he consecrates to the LORD a field he has purchased, which is not part of his own landed property, |
| 23Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD. | 23the priest will calculate for him the amount of its conversion value until the jubilee year, and he must pay the conversion value on that jubilee day as something that is holy to the LORD. |
| 24In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong. | 24In the jubilee year the field will return to the one from whom he bought it, the one to whom it belongs as landed property. |
| 25And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. | 25Every conversion value must be calculated by the standard of the sanctuary shekel; twenty gerahs to the shekel. |
| 26Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD'S. | 26"'Surely no man may consecrate a firstborn that already belongs to the LORD as a firstborn among the animals; whether it is an ox or a sheep, it belongs to the LORD. |
| 27And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. | 27If, however, it is among the unclean animals, he may ransom it according to its conversion value and must add one fifth to it, but if it is not redeemed it must be sold according to its conversion value. |
| 28Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. | 28"'Surely anything which a man permanently dedicates to the LORD from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the LORD. |
| 29None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. | 29Any human being who is permanently dedicated must not be ransomed; such a person must be put to death. |
| 30And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD. | 30"'Any tithe of the land, from the grain of the land or from the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. |
| 31And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. | 31If a man redeems part of his tithe, however, he must add one fifth to it. |
| 32And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. | 32All the tithe of herd or flock, everything which passes under the rod, the tenth one will be holy to the LORD. |
| 33He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. | 33The owner must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it, both the original animal and its substitute will be holy. It must not be redeemed.'" |
| 34These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. | 34These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses to tell the Israelites at Mount Sinai. |
