LEVITICUS 27



Lv 27:1Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Lv 27:2Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When a man makes a special vow to Jehovah, it shall be according to your valuation of persons.

Lv 27:3If your valuation is for the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

Lv 27:4And if it is for a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

Lv 27:5And if it is for one aged from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

Lv 27:6And if it is for one aged from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation for the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

Lv 27:7And if it is for one aged from sixty years old and upward, if it is for a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

Lv 27:8But if it is for him who is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

Lv 27:9And if it is for an animal which may be presented to Jehovah as an offering, anything which may be given to Jehovah shall be holy.

Lv 27:10He may not exchange it or substitute it, either a good one for a bad one or a bad one for a good one; but if he does indeed substitute animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall be holy.

Lv 27:11And if his vow is for any unclean animal, which may not be presented as an offering to Jehovah, then he shall set the animal before the priest,

Lv 27:12And the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so shall it be.

Lv 27:13But if he ever redeems it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.

Lv 27:14And if anyone consecrates his house to be holy to Jehovah, then the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; just as the priest values it, so shall it stand.

Lv 27:15And if the one who consecrated it redeems his house, then he shall add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall become his.

Lv 27:16And if a man consecrates to Jehovah part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

Lv 27:17If he consecrates his field from the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

Lv 27:18But if he consecrates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money for him according to the years which remain until the year of jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

Lv 27:19And if the one who consecrated the field ever redeems it, then he shall add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall revert to him.

Lv 27:20But if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.

Lv 27:21But the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah as a devoted field; its possession shall be the priest’s.

Lv 27:22And if he consecrates to Jehovah a field which he has bought that is not part of the field of his possession,

Lv 27:23Then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation until the year of jubilee, and on that day he shall give your valuation as holy to Jehovah.

Lv 27:24In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, even to the one to whom the possession of the land belongs.

Lv 27:25And every valuation of yours shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

Lv 27:26However no one shall consecrate the firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn already belongs to Jehovah; whether it is an ox or a sheep, it is Jehovah’s.

Lv 27:27But if it is consecrated from among unclean animals, then he shall ransom it according to your valuation and shall add to it one-fifth of it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

Lv 27:28Nevertheless anything which someone devotes to Jehovah out of all that he has, whether a human or an animal or a field of his possession, it shall not be sold or redeemed. Every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.

Lv 27:29No human beings who are devoted to destruction shall be ransomed; they shall surely be put to death.

Lv 27:30And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah’s; it is holy to Jehovah.

Lv 27:31And if anyone redeems any of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

Lv 27:32And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the shepherd’s rod, the tenth one shall be holy to Jehovah.

Lv 27:33He shall not search whether it is good or bad, nor shall he substitute it; but if he does substitute it at all, then both it and that for which it is substituted shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

Lv 27:34These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses on Mount Sinai for the children of Israel.
