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 persons
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 a 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 poorer 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: an homer
of barley
seed
shall be valued at fifty
shekels
of silver
.
If he sanctify his field
from the year
of jubile
, according to thy estimation
it shall stand
.
But if he sanctify his field
after
the jubile
, then the priest
shall reckon
unto him the money
according to
the years
that remain
, even unto the year
of the jubile
, 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 jubile
, 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 jubile
: and he shall give
thine estimation
in that day
, as a holy thing
unto the LORD
.
In the year of the jubile
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 estimations shall be according to the shekel
of the sanctuary
: twenty
gerahs
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 tithes
, 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
.
