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.
