# Leviticus 27 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, If anyone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the valuation of persons,
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. then the valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. If the person is a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. If the person is from a month old up to five years old, the valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female the valuation shall be three shekels of silver.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. And if the person is sixty years old or over, then the valuation for a male shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. And if someone is too poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to what the vower can afford. 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. “If the vow is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the LORD, all of it that he gives to the LORD is holy.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. He shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it and the substitute shall be holy.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. And if it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the LORD, then he shall stand the animal before the priest,
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation. 
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. “When a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the LORD, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. And if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth to the valuation price, and it shall be his. 
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. “If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the land that is his possession, then the valuation shall be in proportion to its seed. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, the valuation shall stand,
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from the valuation.
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price, and it shall remain his.
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the LORD, like a field that has been devoted. The priest shall be in possession of it.
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
22. If he dedicates to the LORD a field that he has bought, which is not a part of his possession,
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
23. then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the LORD.
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
24. In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession.
<a id="25" name="25"></a>
25. Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel. 
<a id="26" name="26"></a>
26. “But a firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s.
<a id="27" name="27"></a>
27. And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation. 
<a id="28" name="28"></a>
28. “But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.
<a id="29" name="29"></a>
29. No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. 
<a id="30" name="30"></a>
30. “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s; it is holy to the LORD.
<a id="31" name="31"></a>
31. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
<a id="32" name="32"></a>
32. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the LORD.
<a id="33" name="33"></a>
33. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.” 
<a id="34" name="34"></a>
34. These are the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
