Leviticus 27

English Standard Version ESV

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, If anyone makes a special vow to the LORD involving the valuation of persons,

3 then the valuation of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

4 If the person is a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5 If the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, the valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

6 If the person is from a month old up to five years old, the valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female the valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

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

8 And if someone is too poor to pay the valuation, then he shall be made to stand before the priest, and the priest shall value him; the priest shall value him according to what the vower can afford.

9 "If the vow is an animal that may be offered as an offering to the LORD, all of it that he gives to the LORD is holy.

10 He shall not exchange it or make a substitute for it, good for bad, or bad for good; and if he does in fact substitute one animal for another, then both it and the substitute shall be holy.

11 And if it is any unclean animal that may not be offered as an offering to the LORD, then he shall stand the animal before the priest,

12 and the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall be.

13 But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to the valuation.

14 "When a man dedicates his house as a holy gift to the LORD, the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

15 And if the donor wishes to redeem his house, he shall add a fifth to the valuation price, and it shall be his.

16 "If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the land that is his possession, then the valuation shall be in proportion to its seed. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17 If he dedicates his field from the year of jubilee, the valuation shall stand,

18 but if he dedicates his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the price according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, and a deduction shall be made from the valuation.

19 And if he who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth to its valuation price, and it shall remain his.

20 But if he does not wish to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.

21 But the field, when it is released in the jubilee, shall be a holy gift to the LORD, like a field that has been devoted. The priest shall be in possession of it.

22 If he dedicates to the LORD a field that he has bought, which is not a part of his possession,

23 then the priest shall calculate the amount of the valuation for it up to the year of jubilee, and the man shall give the valuation on that day as a holy gift to the LORD.

24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom the land belongs as a possession.

25 Every valuation shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall make a shekel.

26 "But a firstborn of animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no man may dedicate; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD's.

27 And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back at the valuation, and add a fifth to it; or, if it is not redeemed, it shall be sold at the valuation.

28 "But no devoted thing that a man devotes to the LORD, of anything that he has, whether man or beast, or of his inherited field, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.

29 No one devoted, who is to be devoted for destruction from mankind, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30 "Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD's; it is holy to the LORD.

31 If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.

32 And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman's staff, shall be holy to the LORD.

33 One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed."

34 These are the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.

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.
