Teaching Points Understanding Valuation in ContextThe valuation system reflects the economic and social structures of ancient Israel. It is important to understand these valuations in their historical and cultural context rather than through modern lenses. The Principle of Dedication The passage highlights the importance of dedicating oneself or one's possessions to God. It encourages believers to consider what they can dedicate to God in their own lives. Gender and Value The differing valuations for males and females reflect the societal norms of the time. This invites discussion on how cultural contexts influence religious practices and how we can apply biblical principles in today's context. Commitment to God The passage underscores the seriousness of making vows to God. Believers are encouraged to be thoughtful and sincere in their commitments to God. God's Sovereignty and Order The detailed instructions in Leviticus demonstrate God's desire for order and structure in worship and community life. This can inspire believers to seek God's order in their personal and communal lives.(5) If it be from five years old, even unto twenty years.--From the fact that a child of five years is here mentioned it is evident that the vows hero spoken of are not simply those which a man makes with regard to his own person, but which he also makes about others, since a vow involving the payment of a considerable sum of money on the part of a child was of no force. The case, therefore, here contemplated is of a father or mother vowing the male child unto the Lord or of any other person taking upon himself to pay the value of such and such a child to the sanctuary, This is still more manifest from the following verse. The male twenty shekels.--As the services of a boy at the age here specified are of much less value, the parent, or anyone else, who vows him to the sanctuary is to pay 2 11s. 8d. The female ten shekels.--For the girl, whose value is proportionately less, the vower is to pay 1 5s. 10d.; being the same value put on an old woman. (See Leviticus 27:7.)
