1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel and tell them: When a man makes a special vow to the LORD involving your valuation of persons,
3 your valuation for a male from twenty up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, by the sanctuary shekel.
4 For a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5 For someone from five up to twenty years old, the valuation shall be twenty shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.
6 For someone from a month up to five years old, the valuation shall be five shekels of silver for a male and three shekels of silver for a female.
7 For someone sixty years old and upward, the valuation shall be fifteen shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.
8 But if he is too poor for your valuation, he shall stand before the priest, and the priest shall set a value on him; according to what the one who made the vow can afford, the priest shall set his value.
9 "If it is an animal of a kind that is presented as an offering to the LORD, anything of it that one gives to the LORD shall be holy.
10 He must not replace it or exchange it, a good one for a bad or a bad one for a good; if he does exchange one animal for another, both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy.
11 If it is any unclean animal of a kind not presented as an offering to the LORD, he shall stand the animal before the priest,
12 and the priest shall set a value on it, whether good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so shall it be.
13 If he wants to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to your valuation.
14 "When a man dedicates his house as holy to the LORD, the priest shall set a value on it, whether good or bad; as the priest values it, so shall it stand.
15 If the one who dedicated it wants to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth of the valuation money to it, and it will be his.
16 "If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the field he holds as property, your valuation shall be in proportion to its seed: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.
17 If he dedicates his field starting from the year of jubilee, it shall stand at your full valuation.
18 If he dedicates his field after the jubilee, the priest shall reckon the money for him according to the years remaining until the year of jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.
19 If the one who dedicated the field does want to redeem it, he shall add a fifth of the valuation money to it, and it shall stay his.
20 But if he does not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to someone else, it can no longer be redeemed.
21 When the field goes out in the jubilee, it shall be holy to the LORD, like a field that is devoted; it shall become the priest's property.
22 If a man dedicates to the LORD a field he has bought, which is not part of his inherited property,
23 the priest shall reckon for him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee, and he shall pay your valuation on that day as a holy thing to the LORD.
24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, the one to whom the land belongs as property.
25 Every valuation of yours shall be by the sanctuary shekel; the shekel shall be twenty gerahs.
26 "However, no one may dedicate a firstborn animal, which is born first to the LORD; whether ox or sheep, it belongs to the LORD.
27 If it is among the unclean animals, he may ransom it at your valuation, adding a fifth to it; if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at your valuation.
28 "But nothing devoted that a man devotes to the LORD from all that he has, whether person, animal, or field of his property, may be sold or redeemed; everything devoted is most holy to the LORD.
29 No person devoted, who is to be devoted from among mankind, may be ransomed; he must be put to death.
30 "All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
31 If a man wants to redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
32 All the tithe of the herd and the flock, every tenth one that passes under the rod, shall be holy to the LORD.
33 One must not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor exchange it; if he does exchange it, both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it cannot be redeemed."
34 These are the commandments that the LORD gave Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
