Levítico 27:25 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 27:25

And all thy estimation shall be according to the shekel of the
sanctuary
The shekel kept in the sanctuary, which was the standard of all shekels; not that there was a shekel in the sanctuary different from the common one; for every shekel ought to have been as that, of the full weight and worth of it; and the estimation was to be according to such a shekel, and the money paid in such, even in full weight:

twenty gerahs shall be the shekel;
which the Targum of Jonathan calls "meahs" or "oboli", one of which was about three halfpence of our money, scarce so much, and weighed near eleven grains, as Bishop Cumberland ^F9 has calculated: see ( Ezekiel 45:12 ) .

Levítico 27:25 In-Context

23 entonces el sacerdote calculará con él la suma de tu estimación hasta el año del jubileo, y aquel día dará tu señalado precio, cosa consagrada al SEÑOR.

24 En el año del jubileo, volverá la tierra a aquel de quien él la compró, cuya era la herencia de la tierra.

25 Y todo lo que apreciares será conforme al siclo del santuario; el siclo tiene veinte óbolos.

26 Pero el primogénito de los animales, que por la primogenitura es del SEÑOR, nadie lo santificará; sea buey u oveja, del SEÑOR es.

27 Mas si fuere de los animales inmundos, lo redimirán conforme a tu estimación, y añadirán sobre ella su quinto; y si no lo redimieren, se venderá conforme a tu estimación.
