Lev 27:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 27:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man
separates a vow, by your evaluation of lives unto יהוה,
Lev 27:3 when your evaluation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty
years old, then your evaluation shall be fifty sheqels of silver, according to
the sheqel of the set-apart place.
Lev 27:4 ‘And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty sheqels;
Lev 27:5 and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your
evaluation for a male shall be twenty sheqels, and for a female ten sheqels;
Lev 27:6 and if from a month old up to five years old, then your evaluation
for a male shall be five sheqels of silver, and for a female your evaluation
shall be three sheqels of silver;
Lev 27:7 and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your
evaluation shall be fifteen sheqels, and for a female ten sheqels.
Lev 27:8 ‘But if he is too poor to pay your evaluation, 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.
Lev 27:9 ‘And if it is a beast of which they bring an offering to יהוה, all such
given to יהוה is set-apart.
Lev 27:10 ‘He is not to replace it or exchange it, good for spoilt or spoilt
for good. And if he at all exchanges beast for beast, then both it and the one
exchanged for it is set-apart.
Lev 27:11 ‘And if it is any unclean beast of which they do not bring an
offering to יהוה, then he shall present the beast before the priest;
Lev 27:12 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or spoilt.
According to your evaluation, O priest, so it shall be.
Lev 27:13 ‘But if he indeed redeems it, then he shall add one-fifth to your
evaluation.
Lev 27:14 ‘And when a man sets his house apart, to be set-apart to יהוה, then
the priest shall value it, whether it is good or spoilt. As the priest values it,
so it stands.
Lev 27:15 ‘And if he who sets it apart does redeem his house, then he shall
add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall be his.
Lev 27:16 ‘And if a man sets apart to יהוהa field he owns, then your
evaluation shall be according to the seed for it – a ḥomer of barley seed at
fifty sheqels of silver.
Lev 27:17 ‘If he sets his field apart from the Year of Jubilee, according to
your evaluation it stands.
Lev 27:18 ‘But if he sets his field apart after the Jubilee, then the priest shall
reckon to him the silver due according to the years that remain till the Year of
Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your evaluation.
Lev 27:19 ‘And if he who sets the field apart ever wishes to redeem it, then
he shall add one-fifth of the silver of your evaluation to it, and it shall be his.
Lev 27:20 ‘And if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to
another man, it is no longer redeemed,
Lev 27:21 but the field, when it is released in the Jubilee, is set-apart to יהוה
as a dedicated field, to be the possession of the priest.
Lev 27:22 ‘And if a man sets apart to יהוהa field which he has bought,
which is not the field of his possession,
Lev 27:23 then the priest shall reckon to him the amount of your evaluation,
up to the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your evaluation on that day, set-
apart to יהוה.
Lev 27:24 ‘In the Year of Jubilee the field returns to him from whom he
bought it, to him whose is the possession of the land.
Lev 27:25 ‘And all your evaluations is to be according to the sheqel of the
set-apart place: twenty gĕrahs to the sheqel.
Lev 27:26 ‘However, a first-born of the beasts, which is first-born to יהוה,
no man sets it apart – whether bull or sheep, it belongs to יהוה.
Lev 27:27 ‘And if among the unclean beasts, then he shall ransom it
according to your evaluation, and shall add one-fifth to it. And if it is not
redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your evaluation.
Lev 27:28 ‘However, whatever a man lays under ban for יהוה of all that he
has, man and beast, or the field of his possession, is not sold or redeemed.
Whatever is laid under ban is most set-apart to יהוה.
Lev 27:29 ‘No one under the ban, under the ban among men, is ransomed,
but shall certainly be put to death.
Lev 27:30 ‘And all the tithe of the land – of the seed of the land or of the
fruit of the tree – belongs to יהוה. It is set-apart to יהוה.
Lev 27:31 ‘If a man indeed redeems any of his tithes, he adds one-fifth to it.
Lev 27:32 ‘And the entire tithe of the herd and of the flock, all that passes
under the rod, the tenth one is set-apart to יהוה.
Lev 27:33 ‘He does not inquire whether it is good or spoilt, nor does he
exchange it. And if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged
for it are set-apart, it is not redeemed.’ ”
Lev 27:34 These are the commands which יהוה commanded Mosheh for the
children of Yisra’ĕl on Mount Sinai.
