Chapter 27 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the person shall be for the
LORD by thy estimation, and 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.
And if it be of female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
And 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.
And 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.
And 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.
But if he be poor 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.
And 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.
He 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.
And 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, and the priest shall
value it, whether it be good or bad, as thou valuest it.
Who art the priest, so shall it be.
But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof
unto thy estimation.
And 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.
And 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.
And 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.
And Homer of Barleseed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
If he sanctify his field from the year of Jubilee according to thy estimation,
it shall stand.
But if he sanctify his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto
him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the Jubilee,
and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
And 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.
And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another
man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
But the field, when it goeth out in the Jubilee, shall be holy unto the Lord,
as a field devoted, the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
And if a man sanctify unto the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not
of the fields of his possession, then the priest shall reckon unto him the
worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give
thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the Lord.
In the year of the Jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought,
even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
And all thy estimation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary,
twenty giras shall be the shekel.
Only 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.
And 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.
Notwithstanding, 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.
None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed, but shall surely
be put to death.
And 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.
And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithe, he shall add thereto the fifth
part thereof, and 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.
He 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.
These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel
in Mount Sinai.
