1Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

1Again, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When a man consecrates by a vow certain persons to the LORD, according to your valuation,

2"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When a man makes a difficult vow, he shall be valued according to your valuation of persons belonging to the LORD.

3if your valuation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

3'If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

4If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels;

4'Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your valuation for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels;

5'If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

6and if from a month old up to five years old, then your valuation for a male shall be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver;

6But if they are from a month even up to five years old, then your valuation shall be five shekels of silver for the male, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

7and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

7If they are from sixty years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

8‘But if he is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value for him; according to the ability of him who vowed, the priest shall value him.

8'But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be placed before the priest and the priest shall value him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

9‘If it is an animal that men may bring as an offering to the LORD, all that anyone gives to the LORD shall be holy.

9'Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the LORD, any such that one gives to the LORD shall be holy.

10He shall not substitute it or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good; and if he at all exchanges animal for animal, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy.

10'He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.

11If it is an unclean animal which they do not offer as a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest;

11'If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which men do not present as an offering to the LORD, then he shall place the animal before the priest.

12and the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

12'The priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

13But if he wants at all to redeem it, then he must add one-fifth to your valuation.

13But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.

14‘And when a man dedicates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

14'Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

15If he who dedicated it wants to redeem his house, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

15Yet if the one who consecrates it should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.

16‘If a man dedicates to the LORD part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

16'Again, if a man consecrates to the LORD part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

17If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

17'If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

18But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money due according to the years that remain till the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

18'If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

19And if he who dedicates the field ever wishes to redeem it, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall belong to him.

19'If the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him.

20But if he does not want to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore;

20'Yet if he will not redeem the field, but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

21but the field, when it is released in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a devoted field; it shall be the possession of the priest.

21and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the LORD, like a field set apart; it shall be for the priest as his property.

22‘And if a man dedicates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not the field of his possession,

22'Or if he consecrates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,

23then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation, up to the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day as a holy offering to the LORD.

23then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to the LORD.

24In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to the one who owned the land as a possession.

24'In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

25And all your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.

25'Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

26‘But the firstborn of the animals, which should be the LORD’s firstborn, no man shall dedicate; whether it is an ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s.

26'However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no man may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S.

27And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation, and shall add one-fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

27But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28‘Nevertheless no devoted offering that a man may devote to the LORD of all that he has, both man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted offering is most holy to the LORD.

28'Nevertheless, anything which a man sets apart to the LORD out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction is most holy to the LORD.

29No person under the ban, who may become doomed to destruction among men, shall be redeemed, but shall surely be put to death.

29'No one who may have been set apart among men shall be ransomed; he shall surely 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 to the LORD.

30'Thus all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy to the LORD.

31If a man wants at all to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth to it.

31'If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

32And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.

32'For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.

33He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.’ ”

33He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"

34These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

34These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai.
