1The LORD told Moses,

1Again, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2"Tell the Israelis that when a person makes a special vow based on the appropriate value of people who belong to the LORD,

2"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When a man makes a difficult vow, he shall be valued according to your valuation of persons belonging to the LORD.

3if your valuation of the vow is for a male from 20 to 60 years old, the valuation is to be 50 shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

3'If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

4If she is a female from 20 to 60 years old, then your valuation is to be 30 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

4'Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5If a person is from five to 20 years, then your valuation for a male is to be 20 shekels and for a female ten shekels.

5'If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

6If a person is from one month to five years old, then your valuation for a male is to be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation is to be three shekels of silver.

6But if they are from a month even up to five years old, then your valuation shall be five shekels of silver for the male, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

7If a person is 60 or more years old, then your valuation for a male is to be fifteen shekels and for a female ten shekels.

7If they are from sixty years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

8But if he is too poor to be valuated, then cause him to stand before the priest and let the priest set a value on him according to the ability of the one making the vow.

8'But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be placed before the priest and the priest shall value him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

9"If it's an animal from which they make an offering to the LORD, everything that he gives to the LORD from it will be holy.

9'Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the LORD, any such that one gives to the LORD shall be holy.

10He is not to substitute it or exchange it—the good with the bad or the bad with the good. If he ever makes an exchange of an animal for an animal, then it and what's being exchanged is holy.

10'He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.

11If any animal is unclean, which cannot be brought to the LORD as an offering, make the animal stand in the presence of the priest,

11'If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which men do not present as an offering to the LORD, then he shall place the animal before the priest.

12then the priest will evaluate it as to whether it is good or bad. According to your—that is, the priest's—valuation, so it is to be.

12'The priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

13If a kinsman redeemer decides to redeem it, then he is to add a fifth to your valuation."

13But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.

14"If a person consecrates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest is to set a value for it as to its worth, whether good or bad. As the priest sets value on it, so it will stand.

14'Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the LORD, then the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

15And if he that consecrated it wishes to redeem his house, he is to add one fifth to your valuation, after which it is to belong to him.

15Yet if the one who consecrates it should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.

16"If a person consecrates to the LORD a portion of the field from his inheritance, then your valuation is to be based on its capacity for yielding a harvest. Each omer of barley is to be valued at 50 shekels of silver.

16'Again, if a man consecrates to the LORD part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

17If he consecrates his field in the year of jubilee, it is to be based on your valuation.

17'If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

18If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, then the priest is to account to him the silver according to the years that remain until the year of jubilee, with a deduction corresponding to your valuation.

18'If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

19"If the one who consecrated the field intends to redeem it, then he is to add one fifth of your valuation to it in silver, then it is to be established as his.

19'If the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him.

20But if he won't redeem the field, but instead sells it to another person, then it is not to be redeemed anymore.

20'Yet if he will not redeem the field, but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

21When the field is released in the jubilee, it will be holy to the LORD. As a field that's devoted, it is to belong to the priest as his inheritance.

21and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the LORD, like a field set apart; it shall be for the priest as his property.

22If he consecrates a field that he had bought and that isn't part of his inheritance,

22'Or if he consecrates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,

23then the priest is to account to him the evaluated worth until the year of jubilee. Then he is to give the amount of valuation on that day as a holy gift to the LORD.

23then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to the LORD.

24During the year of jubilee, the field is to be returned by the one who originally sold it—that is, to the owner of the land.

24'In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

25Every valuation is to be according to the shekel of the sanctuary, evaluated at 20 gerahs to the shekel.

25'Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

26"No person is to consecrate the firstborn, because the firstborn of the animals already belongs to the LORD. Whether ox or goat, it belongs to the LORD.

26'However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the LORD, no man may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S.

27If it's an unclean animal, then he is to ransom it according to your valuation, adding a fifth to it. If it's not redeemed, then it is to be sold according to your valuation.

27But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

28However, any devoted thing that a person consecrates to the LORD from what he owns—whether man, animals, or inherited fields—is not to be sold or redeemed. Any devoted thing is most sacred. It belongs to the LORD.

28'Nevertheless, anything which a man sets apart to the LORD out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction is most holy to the LORD.

29But anyone who is completely devoted from among human beings is not to be ransomed. He is certainly to be put to death.

29'No one who may have been set apart among men shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

30"Any tithes of the land—from grain grown on the land or from fruit grown on the trees—belong to the LORD. They are sacred to the LORD.

30'Thus all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy to the LORD.

31But if a person wishes to redeem his tithe, he is to add a fifth to it.

31'If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

32All the tithes from cattle and flocks that pass under the measuring rod are sacred to the LORD.

32'For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD.

33He is not to examine it to see if it's good or bad or even exchange it. If he does exchange it, what has been exchanged as well as its substitute is sacred. It is not to be redeemed."

33He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"

34These are the commands that the LORD commanded Moses to deliver to the Israelis on Mount Sinai.

34These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai.
