Leviticus 27

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When a person makes a solemn promise to the LORD involving the value of a person,

3 if it is the value for a male between 20 and 60 years old, his value is fifty silver shekels according to the sanctuary's shekel.

4 If the person is a female, her value is thirty shekels.

5 If the age of the person is between 5 and 20 years, the value for a male is twenty shekels, for a female ten shekels.

6 If the age of the person is between one month and 5 years, the value for a male is five silver shekels, for a female three silver shekels.

7 If the age of the person is 60 years or more, the value is fifteen shekels if the person is male, ten shekels for a female.

8 But if financial difficulty prevents the promise maker from giving the full value, they must set the person before the priest. The priest will assign the person a value according to what the promise maker can afford.

9 If a solemn promise involves livestock that can be offered to the LORD, any such animal given to the LORD will be considered holy.

10 The promise maker cannot replace or substitute for it, either good for bad or bad for good. But if one should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute will be holy.

11 If the solemn promise involves any kind of unclean animal that cannot be offered to the LORD, the promise maker must set the animal before the priest.

12 The priest will assign it a value, whether high or low. Its value will be what the priest says.

13 If the promise maker wishes to buy it back, they must add one-fifth to its value.

14 When someone dedicates their house to the LORD as holy, the priest will assign a value to it, whether high or low. The value is fixed, whatever value the priest assigns to it.

15 If the one who dedicates the house wishes to buy it back, they must add one-fifth to its valued price, and it will be theirs again.

16 If a person dedicates part of the land from their family property to the LORD, the value will be set according to the seed needed to plant it: fifty silver shekels per homer of barley seed.

17 If the person dedicates the piece of land during the Jubilee year, its value will stay fixed.

18 But if the person dedicates the piece after the Jubilee year, the priest will calculate the price according to the years that are left until the next Jubilee year, and the value will be reduced.

19 If the one who dedicates the land wishes to buy it back, they must add one-fifth to its valued price, and it will be theirs again.

20 But if they do not buy it back or if it was sold to someone else, it is no longer able to be bought back.

21 When the piece of land is released in the Jubilee year, it will be holy to the LORD like a piece of devoted land; it will be the priest's property.

22 If the person dedicates land they purchased to the LORD—land that is not part of their family property—

23 the priest will calculate the amount of its value until the Jubilee year. The person must pay the value on that day as a holy donation to the LORD.

24 In the Jubilee year the piece of land will return to the seller, to the one who is the original owner of the family property.

25 Every value will be according to the sanctuary's shekel. The shekel will be twenty gerahs.

26 But note that a person cannot dedicate any oldest offspring from livestock, which already belongs to the LORD because it is the oldest. Whether ox or sheep, it belongs to the LORD.

27 If it is an unclean animal, it may be bought back at its value plus twenty percent. If it is not bought back, it will be sold at its set value.

28 Also note that everything someone devotes to the LORD from their possessions—whether humans, animals, or pieces of land from their family property—cannot be sold or bought back. Every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.

29 No human beings that have been devoted can be bought back; they must be executed.

30 All tenth-part gifts from the land, whether of seed from the ground or fruit from the trees, belong to the LORD; they are holy to the LORD.

31 If someone wishes to buy back part of their tenth-part gift, they must add one-fifth to it.

32 All tenth-part gifts from a herd or flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's staff—will be holy to the LORD.

33 The one bringing the tenth-part gift must not pick out the good from the bad, and cannot substitute any animal. But if one should substitute an animal, both it and the substitute will be holy and cannot be bought back.

34 These are the commands that the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.

New Revised Standard NRS

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speak to the people of Israel and say to them: When a person makes an explicit vow to the Lord concerning the equivalent for a human being,

3 the equivalent for a male shall be: from twenty to sixty years of age the equivalent shall be fifty shekels of silver by the sanctuary shekel.

4 If the person is a female, the equivalent is thirty shekels.

5 If the age is from five to twenty years of age, the equivalent is twenty shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.

6 If the age is from one month to five years, the equivalent for a male is five shekels of silver, and for a female the equivalent is three shekels of silver.

7 And if the person is sixty years old or over, then the equivalent for a male is fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

8 If any cannot afford the equivalent, they shall be brought before the priest and the priest shall assess them; the priest shall assess them according to what each one making a vow can afford.

9 If it concerns an animal that may be brought as an offering to the Lord, any such that may be given to the Lord shall be holy.

10 Another shall not be exchanged or substituted for it, either good for bad or bad for good; and if one animal is substituted for another, both that one and its substitute shall be holy.

11 If it concerns any unclean animal that may not be brought as an offering to the Lord, the animal shall be presented before the priest.

12 The priest shall assess it: whether good or bad, according to the assessment of the priest, so it shall be.

13 But if it is to be redeemed, one-fifth must be added to the assessment.

14 If a person consecrates a house to the Lord, the priest shall assess it: whether good or bad, as the priest assesses it, so it shall stand.

15 And if the one who consecrates the house wishes to redeem it, one-fifth shall be added to its assessed value, and it shall revert to the original owner.

16 If a person consecrates to the Lord any inherited landholding, its assessment shall be in accordance with its seed requirements: fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed.

17 If the person consecrates the field as of the year of jubilee, that assessment shall stand;

18 but if the field is consecrated after the jubilee, the priest shall compute the price for it according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and the assessment shall be reduced.

19 And if the one who consecrates the field wishes to redeem it, then one-fifth shall be added to its assessed value, and it shall revert to the original owner;

20 but if the field is not redeemed, or if it has been sold to someone else, it shall no longer be redeemable.

21 But when the field is released in the jubilee, it shall be holy to the Lord as a devoted field; it becomes the priest's holding.

22 If someone consecrates to the Lord a field that has been purchased, which is not a part of the inherited landholding,

23 the priest shall compute for it the proportionate assessment up to the year of jubilee, and the assessment shall be paid as of that day, a sacred donation to the Lord.

24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom it was bought, whose holding the land is.

25 All assessments shall be by the sanctuary shekel: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.

26 A firstling of animals, however, which as a firstling belongs to the Lord, cannot be consecrated by anyone; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord's.

27 If it is an unclean animal, it shall be ransomed at its assessment, with one-fifth added; if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at its assessment.

28 Nothing that a person owns that has been devoted to destruction for the Lord, be it human or animal, or inherited landholding, may be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.

29 No human beings who have been devoted to destruction can be ransomed; they shall be put to death.

30 All tithes from the land, whether the seed from the ground or the fruit from the tree, are the Lord's; they are holy to the Lord.

31 If persons wish to redeem any of their tithes, they must add one-fifth to them.

32 All tithes of herd and flock, every tenth one that passes under the shepherd's staff, shall be holy to the Lord.

33 Let no one inquire whether it is good or bad, or make substitution for it; if one makes substitution for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy and cannot be redeemed.

34 These are the commandments that the Lord gave to Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
