Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When anyone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the value set on a person,
the value for a male between twenty and sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, by the sanctuary shekel.
If it is a female, the value shall be thirty shekels.
For someone between five and twenty years old, the value for a male shall be twenty shekels and for a female ten shekels.
For a child between one month and five years old, the value for a male shall be five shekels of silver and for a female three shekels of silver.
For someone sixty years old or over, the value for a male shall be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels.
If the person is too poor to pay the set value, he shall be brought before the priest, and the priest shall set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.
He must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one. If he does substitute one animal for another, both it and its substitute become holy.
If the vow concerns an unclean animal, one that may not be offered to the LORD, the animal shall be presented before the priest,
If anyone dedicates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest shall set its value, whether high or low. Whatever the priest sets, that is what it shall be.
If the one who dedicated the house wishes to redeem it, he must add a fifth to its value in silver, and it shall be his again.
If anyone dedicates to the LORD part of the field he has inherited, its value shall be set according to the seed required for it: fifty shekels of silver for each homer of barley seed.
But if he dedicates it after the Jubilee, the priest shall calculate the price according to the years remaining until the next Year of Jubilee, and the value shall be reduced accordingly.
If the one who dedicated the field wishes to redeem it, he must add a fifth to its value in silver, and it shall revert to him.
But if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed.
When the field is released in the Jubilee, it becomes holy to the LORD, like a field placed under the ban; it shall become the priest's holding.
the priest shall calculate its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the man shall pay that amount on that day as something holy to the LORD.
In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought, the one whose inherited land it is.
Every value shall be set by the sanctuary shekel: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
If it is an unclean animal, the owner may buy it back at its set value, adding a fifth to it; if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at its set value.
But nothing that a person devotes to the LORD from all he owns—whether human being or animal or inherited land—may be sold or redeemed. Everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.
No person who has been devoted to destruction may be ransomed; he must be put to death.
Every tithe of the land, whether from the seed of the ground or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
Every tithe of the herd and flock—of all that passes under the shepherd's rod, every tenth animal—shall be holy to the LORD.
He must not examine whether it is good or bad, nor make any substitution. If he does substitute one for another, both it and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.
