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.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses. He said,

2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: If anyone wants to vow the value of a person to the service of God,

3 set the value of a man between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the Sanctuary shekel.

4 For a woman the valuation is thirty shekels.

5 If the person is between the ages of five and twenty, set the value at twenty shekels for a male and ten shekels for a female.

6 If the person is between one month and five years, set the value at five shekels of silver for a boy and three shekels of silver for a girl.

7 If the person is over sixty, set the value at fifteen shekels for a man and ten shekels for a woman.

8 If anyone is too poor to pay the stated amount, he is to present the person to the priest, who will then set the value for him according to what the person making the vow can afford.

9 "If he vowed an animal that is acceptable as an offering to God, the animal is given to God and becomes the property of the Sanctuary.

10 He must not exchange or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if he should dishonestly substitute one animal for another, both the original and the substitute become property of the Sanctuary.

11 If what he vowed is a ritually unclean animal, one that is not acceptable as an offering to God, the animal must be shown to the priest,

12 who will set its value, either high or low. Whatever the priest sets will be its value.

13 If the owner changes his mind and wants to redeem it, he must add twenty percent to its value.

14 "If a man dedicates his house to God, into the possession of the Sanctuary, the priest assesses its value, setting it either high or low. Whatever value the priest sets, that's what it is.

15 If the man wants to buy it back, he must add twenty percent to its price and then it's his again.

16 "If a man dedicates to God part of his family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed that is needed for it at the rate of fifty shekels of silver to six bushels of barley seed.

17 If he dedicates his field during the year of Jubilee, the set value stays.

18 But if he dedicates it after the Jubilee, the priest will compute the value according to the years left until the next Jubilee, reducing the value proportionately.

19 If the one dedicating it wants to buy it back, he must add twenty percent to its valuation, and then it's his again.

20 But if he doesn't redeem it or sells the field to someone else, it can never be bought back.

21 When the field is released in the Jubilee, it becomes holy to God, the possession of the Sanctuary, God's field. It goes into the hands of the priests.

22 "If a man dedicates to God a field he has bought, a field which is not part of the family land,

23 the priest will compute its proportionate value in relation to the next year of Jubilee. The man must pay its value on the spot as something that is now holy to God, belonging to the Sanctuary.

24 In the year of Jubilee it goes back to its original owner, the man from whom he bought it.

25 The valuations will be reckoned by the Sanctuary shekel, at twenty gerahs to the shekel.

26 "No one is allowed to dedicate the firstborn of an animal; the firstborn, as firstborn, already belongs to God. No matter if it's cattle or sheep, it already belongs to God.

27 If it's one of the ritually unclean animals, he can buy it back at its assessed value by adding twenty percent to it. If he doesn't redeem it, it is to be sold at its assessed value.

28 "But nothing that a man irrevocably devotes to God from what belongs to him, whether human or animal or family land, may be either sold or bought back. Everything devoted is holy to the highest degree; it's God's inalienable property.

29 "No human who has been devoted to destruction can be redeemed. He must be put to death.

30 "A tenth of the land's produce, whether grain from the ground or fruit from the trees, is God's. It is holy to God.

31 If a man buys back any of the tenth he has given, he must add twenty percent to it.

32 A tenth of the entire herd and flock, every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod, is holy to God.

33 He is not permitted to pick out the good from the bad or make a substitution. If he dishonestly makes a substitution, both animals, the original and the substitute, become the possession of the Sanctuary and cannot be redeemed."

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