2 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos homo qui votum fecerit et spoponderit Deo animam suam sub aestimatione dabit pretium

3 si fuerit masculus a vicesimo usque ad sexagesimum annum dabit quinquaginta siclos argenti ad mensuram sanctuarii

4 si mulier triginta

5 a quinto autem anno usque ad vicesimum masculus dabit viginti siclos femina decem

6 ab uno mense usque ad annum quintum pro masculo dabuntur quinque sicli pro femina tres

7 sexagenarius et ultra masculus dabit quindecim siclos femina decem

8 si pauper fuerit et aestimationem reddere non valebit stabit coram sacerdote et quantum ille aestimaverit et viderit eum posse reddere tantum dabit
