Leviticus Chapter 27

Leviticus Chapter 27
1 Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, If any man shall make a
vow of a person unto the Lord, by thy
estimation,
3 Then thy estimation shall be thus: a
male from twenty year old unto sixty
year old shall be by thy estimation even
fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of
the sanctuary.
4 But if it be a female, then thy valuation
shall be thirty shekels. 5 And from five
year old to twenty year old thy valuation
shall be for the male twenty shekels, and
for the female ten shekels.
6 But from a month old unto five year
old, thy price of the male shall be five
shekels of silver, and thy price of the
female, three shekels of silver. 7 And
from sixty year old and above, if he be a
male, then thy price shall be fifteen
shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than thou hast
esteemed him, then shall he present
himself before the priest, and the priest
shall value him, according to the ability
of him that vowed, so shall the priest
value him. 9 And if it be a beast,
whereof men bring an offering unto the
Lord, all that one giveth of such unto the
Lord, shall be holy.
10 He shall not alter it nor change it, a
good for a bad, nor a bad for a good:
and if he change beast for beast, then
both this and that, which was changed
for it, shall be holy.
11 And if it be any unclean beast, of
which men do not offer a sacrifice unto
the Lord, he shall then present the beast
before the priest.
12 And the priest shall value it, whether
it be good or bad: and as thou valuest it,
which art the priest, so shall it be.
13 But if he will buy it again, then he
shall give the fifth part of it more, above
thy valuation.
14 Also when a man shall dedicate his
house to be holy unto the Lord, then the
priest shall value it, whether it be good
or bad, and as the priest shall appraise
it, so shall the value be.
15 But if he that sanctified it, will
redeem his house, then he shall give
thereto the fifth part of money more than
thy estimation, and it shall be his. 16 If
also a man dedicate to the Lord any
ground of his inheritance, then shalt thou
esteem it according to the seed thereof:
an homer of barley seed shall be at fifty
shekels of silver.
17 If he dedicate his field immediately
from the year of jubilee, it shall be
worth as thou dost esteem it.
18 But if he dedicate his field after the
jubilee, then the priest shall reckon him
the money according to the years that
remain unto the year of jubilee, and it
shall be abated by thy estimation.
19 And if he that dedicateth it, will
redeem the field, then he shall put the
fifth part of the price, that thou esteemest
it at, thereunto, and it shall remain his.
20 And if he will not redeem the field,
but the priest sell the field to another
man, it shall be redeemed no more.
21 But the field shall be holy to the
Lord, when it goeth out in the jubilee, as
a field separate from common uses: the
possession thereof shall be the priest’s.
22 If a man also dedicate unto the Lord a
field which he hath bought, which is not
of the ground of his inheritance,
23 Then the priest shall set the price to
him, as thou esteemest it, unto the year of
jubilee, and he shall give thy price the
same day, as a thing holy unto the Lord.
24 But in the year of jubilee, the field
shall return unto him, of whom it was
bought: to him, I say, whose inheritance
the land was.
25 And all thy valuation shall be
according to the shekel of the sanctuary:
a shekel containeth twenty gerahs.
26 Notwithstanding the firstborn of the
beasts, because it is the Lord’s firstborn,
none shall dedicate such, be it bullock,
or sheep; for it is the Lord’s. 27 But if it
be an unclean beast, then he shall
redeem it by thy valuation, and give the
fifth part more thereto: and if it be not
redeemed, then it shall be sold,
according to thy estimation.
28 Notwithstanding, nothing separate
from the common use that a man doth
separate unto the Lord of all that he hath
(whether it be man or beast, or land of
his inheritance) may be sold nor
redeemed: for everything separate from
the common use is most holy unto the
Lord.
29 Nothing separate from the common
use, which shall be separate from man,
shall be redeemed , but die the death.
30 Also all the tithe of the land both of
the seed of the ground, and of the fruit of
the trees is the Lord’s: it is holy to the
Lord.
31 But if a man will redeem any of his
tithe, he shall add the fifth part thereto.
32 And every tithe of bullock, and of
sheep , and of all that goeth under the
rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.
33 He shall not look if it be good or bad,
neither shall he change it: else if he
change it, both it, and that it was changed
withal, shall be holy, and it shall not be
redeemed.
34 These are the commandments which
the Lord commanded by Moses unto the
children of Israel in mount Sinai.
