Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When someone shall make a special vow unto the LORD, according to the estimation of the persons <em>that are to be redeemed</em>, thus shall be thy estimation:
2
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the LORD by giving the equivalent value,
3 Regarding the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
3
set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel ;
4 And if it <em>is</em> a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
4
for a female, set her value at thirty shekels ;
5 And if <em>it is</em> from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
5
for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels ;
6 And if <em>it is</em> from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation <em>shall be</em> three shekels of silver.
6
for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver;
7 And if <em>it is</em> from sixty years old and above, if <em>it is</em> a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
7
for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels and of a female at ten shekels.
8 But if he is poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of the one that vowed shall the priest value him.
8
If anyone making the vow is too poor to pay the specified amount, the person being dedicated is to be presented to the priest, who will set the value according to what the one making the vow can afford.
9 And if <em>it is</em> an animal which is offered unto the LORD, all that <em>anyone</em> gives of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
9
“ ‘If what they vowed is an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the LORD, such an animal given to the LORD becomes holy.
10 He shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall exchange one animal for another, then it and the one exchanged thereof shall belong to the sanctuary.
10
They must not exchange it or substitute a good one for a bad one, or a bad one for a good one; if they should substitute one animal for another, both it and the substitute become holy.
11 And if it <em>is</em> an unclean animal, which cannot be offered as a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the animal before the priest;
11
If what they vowed is a ceremonially unclean animal—one that is not acceptable as an offering to the LORD—the animal must be presented to the priest,
12 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; according to the estimation of the priest, so shall it be.
12
who will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, that is what it will be.
13 But if it must be redeemed, then they shall add a fifth <em>part</em> thereof unto thy estimation.
13
If the owner wishes to redeem the animal, a fifth must be added to its value.
14 And when a man shall sanctify his house <em>to be</em> holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.
14
“ ‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the LORD, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain.
15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth <em>part</em> of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
15
If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD <em>some part</em> of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof; one homer of barley seed <em>shall be valued</em> at fifty shekels of silver.
16
“ ‘If anyone dedicates to the LORD part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver to a homer of barley seed.
17 If he sanctifies his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
17
If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains.
18 But if he sanctifies his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain until the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
18
But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee, the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced.
19 And if he that sanctified the field desires to redeem it, then he shall add the fifth <em>part </em>of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
19
If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it, they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs.
20 But if he should not redeem the field, and if the field is sold to another, it shall not be redeemed any more;
20
If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed.
21 but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field of anathema; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.
21
When the field is released in the Jubilee, it will become holy, like a field devoted to the LORD; it will become priestly property.
22 And if <em>anyone</em> sanctifies unto the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the fields of his inheritance,
22
“ ‘If anyone dedicates to the LORD a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land,
23 then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation until the year of the jubilee; and that day he shall give thy assigned price, <em>as</em> a holy <em>thing</em> unto the LORD.
23
the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee, and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the LORD.
24 In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto the one of whom it was bought, unto whom the inheritance of the land <em>did belong</em>.
24
In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought, the one whose land it was.
25 And all thy values shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
25
Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel, twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 But the firstborn of the animals, which because it is firstborn belongs to the LORD, no one shall sanctify it; whether <em>it is</em> ox or sheep, it <em>is</em> the LORD’s.
26
“ ‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the LORD; whether an ox or a sheep, it is the LORD’s.
27 And if <em>it is</em> of an unclean beast, it shall be ransomed according to thy estimation, and they shall add a fifth <em>part</em> unto it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
27
If it is one of the unclean animals, it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.
28 But no anathema, that anyone shall devote unto the LORD of all that they have of men and animals and of the fields of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. All anathema <em>is</em> most holy unto the LORD.
28
“ ‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes to the LORD—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy to the LORD.
29 Any anathema of men which is devoted shall not be ransomed, <em>but</em> shall surely be put to death.
29
“ ‘No person devoted to destruction may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.
30 And all the tithes of the land, <em>whether</em> of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s; <em>it is</em> holiness unto the LORD.
30
“ ‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.
31 And if anyone desires to redeem <em>anything</em> of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth <em>part</em> thereof.
31
Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value to it.
32 And concerning the tithe of the cows or of the sheep, <em>even</em> of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holiness unto the LORD.
32
Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod—will be holy to the LORD.
33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he changes it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
33
No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.’ ”
34 These <em>are</em> the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.
34
These are the commands the LORD gave Moses at Mount Sinai for the Israelites.
