Leviticus 27
- 1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 2
- 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.
- 3
- 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.
- 4
- And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be
thirty shekels.
- 5
- 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.
- 6
- 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.
- 7
- 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.
- 8
- 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.
- 9
- 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.
- 10
- 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.
- 11
- 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:
- 12
- And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or
bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
- 13
- But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a
fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
- 14
- 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.
- 15
- 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.
- 16
- 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.
- 17
- If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile,
according to thy estimation it shall stand.
- 18
- 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.
- 19
- 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.
- 20
- 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.
- 21
- 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.
- 22
- And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he
hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
- 23
- 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.
- 24
- 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.
- 25
- And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel
of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
- 26
- 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.
- 27
- 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.
- 28
- 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.
- 29
- None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be
redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
- 30
- 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.
- 31
- And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he
shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
- 32
- 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.
- 33
- 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.
- 34
- These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded
Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
