1 And the Lord said to Moses,
1
7 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.
2
Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When a man shall articulate a neder, the nefashot shall be for Hashem by thy evaluation.
3 And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place.
3
And thy evaluation shall be of the zachar from esrim shanim even unto shishim shanah, even thy evaluation shall be fifty shekels kesef, after the shekel HaKodesh.
4 And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels.
4
And if it be a nekevah, then thy evaluation shall be shloshim shekel.
5 And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.
5
And if it be from chamesh shanim even unto esrim shanah, then thy evaluation shall be of the zachar esrim shekel, and for the nekevah aseret shekalim.
6 And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.
6
And if it be from a month old even unto chamesh shanim, then thy evaluation shall be of the zachar chamishah shekalim kesef, and for the nekevah thy evaluation shall be shloshet shekalim kesef.
7 And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten.
7
And if it be from shishim shanah and above, if it be a zachar, then thy evaluation shall be chamishah asar shekel, and for the nekevah asarah shekalim.
8 But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.
8
But if he be poorer than thy evaluation, then he shall present himself before the kohen, and the kohen shall value him; according to the ability of the one who vowed the neder shall the kohen value him.
9 And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.
9
And if it be a behemah, whereof men bring a korban unto Hashem, all that any man giveth of such unto Hashem shall be kodesh.
10 It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy.
10
He shall not exchange it, nor substitute it, a tov for a rah, or rah for tov: and if he shall at all substitute behemah for behemah, then it and the substitute thereof shall be kodesh.
11 And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;
11
And if it be any behemah temeiah, of which they do not offer a korban unto Hashem, then he shall present the behemah before the kohen;
12 And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.
12
And the kohen shall value it, whether it be tov or rah; as thou valuest it, who art the kohen, so shall it be.
13 But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value.
13
But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add chamishto (a fifth part thereof) unto thy evaluation.
14 And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.
14
And when a man shall set apart as kodesh his bais to be kodesh unto Hashem, then the kohen shall evaluate it, whether it be tov or rah; as the kohen shall set the value of it, so shall it remain.
15 And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his.
15
And if he that set it apart as kodesh will redeem his bais, then he shall add the fifth part of the kesef of thy evaluation unto it, and it shall be his.
16 And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
16
And if a man shall set apart as kodesh unto Hashem some part of a sadeh of his possession, then thy evaluation shall be according to its seeding; an area seeded by a homer of barley shall be valued at chamishim shekel kesef.
17 If he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your decision.
17
If he set apart as kodesh his sadeh from the Shnat HaYovel, according to thy evaluation it shall remain.
18 But if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your value.
18
But if he set apart as kodesh his sadeh after the Yovel, then the kohen shall reckon unto him the kesef according to the shanim that remain, even unto the Shnat HaYovel, and it shall be deducted from thy evaluation.
19 And if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his.
19
And if he that set apart as kodesh the sadeh will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the kesef of thy evaluation unto it, and it shall be his.
20 But if he has no desire to get it back, or if he has given it for a price to another man, it may not be got back again.
20
And if he will not redeem the sadeh, or if he have sold the sadeh to ish achar (another man), it shall not be redeemed any more.
21 But the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the priest.
21
But the sadeh, when it is released in the Yovel, shall be kodesh unto Hashem, as a sadeh hacherem (devoted); the possession thereof shall be the kohen’s.
22 And if a man gives to the Lord a field which he has got for money from another, which is not part of his heritage;
22
And if a man set apart as kodesh unto Hashem a sadeh which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession [i.e., ancestral heritage],
23 Then the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy to the Lord.
23
Then the kohen shall reckon unto him the worth of thy evaluation, even unto the Shnat HaYovel: and he shall give thine evaluation in that day, as kodesh unto Hashem.
24 In the year of Jubilee the field will go back to him from whom he got it, that is, to him whose heritage it was.
24
In the Shnat HaYovel the sadeh shall return and revert unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the Achuzzat HaAretz (Ancestral Heritage of the Land) did belong.
25 And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
25
And all thy evaluations shall be according to the shekel HaKodesh; twenty gerah shall be the shekel.
26 But a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's.
26
Only the bechor of the behemah, which should be Hashem’s Bechor, no man shall set it apart as kodesh; whether it be shor (ox), or seh (sheep): it is Hashem’s.
27 And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.
27
And if it be of a behemah hatemeiah, then he shall redeem it according to thine evaluation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto; or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy evaluation.
28 But nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most holy to the Lord.
28
Nevertheless, no cherem (devoted thing), that a man shall devote unto Hashem of all that he hath, both of adam and behemah, and of the sadeh of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every cherem is kodesh kodashim unto Hashem.
29 Any man given completely to the Lord may not be got back: he is certainly to be put to death.
29
No cherem, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
30 And every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees, is holy to the Lord.
30
And all the ma’aser HaAretz (tithe of the Land), whether of the zera HaAretz, or of the pri HaEtz, is Hashem’s; it is kodesh unto Hashem.
31 And if a man has a desire to get back any of the tenth part which he has given, let him give a fifth more.
31
And if a man will at all redeem ought of his ma’asor (tithes), he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
32 And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.
32
And concerning the ma’aser of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be kodesh unto Hashem.
33 He may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it; and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not get them back again.
33
He shall not search whether it be tov or rah, neither shall he change it; and if he substitute it at all, then both it and the substitute thereof shall be kodesh; it shall not be redeemed.
34 These are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai.
34
These are the mitzvot, which Hashem commanded Moshe for the Bnei Yisroel in Mt. Sinai.
