[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [2] “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man consecrates a person to Yahweh in a vow, according to your valuation, [3] your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekelⓘ of the sanctuary. [4] If she is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. [5] If the person is from five years old to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. [6] If the person is from a month old to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver. [7] If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if he is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. [8] But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall assign a value to him. The priest shall assign a value according to his ability to pay. [9] “ ‘If it is an animal of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy. [10] He shall not alter it, nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. If he shall at all exchange animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. [11] If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest; [12] and the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall be. [13] But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation. [14] “ ‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest evaluates it, so it shall stand. [15] If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his. [16] “ ‘If a man dedicates to Yahweh part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. The sowing of a homerⓘ of barley shall be valued at fifty shekelsⓘ of silver. [17] If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. [18] But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation. [19] If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his. [20] If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more; [21] but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to Yahweh, as a devoted field. It shall be owned by the priests. [22] “ ‘If he dedicates a field to Yahweh which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession, [23] then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to Yahweh. [24] In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs. [25] All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahsⓘ to the shekel.ⓘ [26] “ ‘However the firstborn among animals, which belongs to Yahweh as a firstborn, no man may dedicate, whether an ox or a sheep. It is Yahweh’s. [27] If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it; or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation. [28] “ ‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing that a man devotes to Yahweh of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed. Everything that is permanently devoted is most holy to Yahweh. [29] “ ‘No one devoted to destruction, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death. [30] “ ‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh. [31] If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it. [32] All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yahweh. [33] He shall not examine whether it is good or bad, neither shall he exchange it. If he exchanges it at all, then both it and that for which it is exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’ ” [34] These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

Vows and Tithes
[1] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, When a man H376 shall make a singular H6381 (HiphImpf) vow, H5088 the persons H5315 shall be for the Lord H3068 by thy estimation. H6187 [3] And thy estimation H6187 shall be of the male H2145 from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 even unto sixty H8346 years H8141 old, H1121 even thy estimation H6187 shall be fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver, H3701 after the shekel H8255 of the sanctuary. H6944 [4] And if it be a female, H5347 then thy estimation H6187 shall be thirty H7970 shekels. H8255 [5] And if it be from five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 even unto twenty H6242 years H8141 old, H1121 then thy estimation H6187 shall be of the male H2145 twenty H6242 shekels, H8255 and for the female H5347 ten H6235 shekels. H8255 [6] And if it be from a month H2320 old H1121 even unto five H2568 years H8141 old, H1121 then thy estimation H6187 shall be of the male H2145 five H2568 shekels H8255 of silver, H3701 and for the female H5347 thy estimation H6187 shall be three H7969 shekels H8255 of silver. H3701 [7] And if it be from sixty H8346 years H8141 old H1121 and above; H4605 if it be a male, H2145 then thy estimation H6187 shall be fifteen H2568 shekels, H8255 and for the female H5347 ten H6235 shekels. H8255 [8] But if he be poorer H4134 (QalActPtc) than thy estimation, H6187 then he shall present H5975 (HiphPerf) himself before H6440 the priest, H3548 and the priest H3548 shall value H6186 (HiphPerf) him; according to H6310 his ability H3027 that vowed H5087 (QalActPtc) shall the priest H3548 value H6186 (HiphImpf) him. [9] And if it be a beast, H929 whereof men bring H7126 (HiphImpf) an offering H7133 unto the Lord, H3068 all that any man giveth H5414 (QalImpf) of such unto the Lord H3068 shall be holy. H6944 [10] He shall not alter H2498 (HiphImpf) it, nor change H4171 (HiphImpf) it, a good H2896 for a bad, H7451 or a bad H7451 for a good: H2896 and if he shall at all H4171 (HiphInf) change H4171 (HiphImpf) beast H929 for beast, H929 then it and the exchange H8545 thereof shall be holy. H6944 [11] And if it be any unclean H2931 beast, H929 of which they do not offer H7126 (HiphImpf) a sacrifice H7133 unto the Lord, H3068 then he shall present H5975 (HiphPerf) the beast H929 before H6440 the priest: H3548 [12] and the priest H3548 shall value H6186 (HiphPerf) it, whether H996 it be good H2896 or H996 bad: H7451 as thou valuest H6187 it, who art the priest, H3548 so shall it be. [13] But if he will at all H1350 (QalInf) redeem H1350 (QalImpf) it, then he shall add H3254 (QalPerf) a fifth H2549 part thereof unto thy estimation. H6187 [14] And when a man H376 shall sanctify H6942 (HiphImpf) his house H1004 to be holy H6944 unto the Lord, H3068 then the priest H3548 shall estimate H6186 (HiphPerf) it, whether it be good H2896 or bad: H7451 as the priest H3548 shall estimate H6186 (HiphImpf) it, so shall it stand. H6965 (QalImpf) [15] And if he that sanctified H6942 (HiphPtc) it will redeem H1350 (QalImpf) his house, H1004 then he shall add H3254 (QalPerf) the fifth H2549 part of the money H3701 of thy estimation H6187 unto it, and it shall be his. [16] And if a man H376 shall sanctify H6942 (HiphImpf) unto the Lord H3068 some part of a field H7704 of his possession, H272 then thy estimation H6187 shall be according H6310 to the seed H2233 thereof: an homer H2563§ of barley H8184 seed H2233 shall be valued at fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver. H3701 [17] If he sanctify H6942 (HiphImpf) his field H7704 from the year H8141 of jubile, H3104 according to thy estimation H6187 it shall stand. H6965 (QalImpf) [18] But if he sanctify H6942 (HiphImpf) his field H7704 after H310 the jubile, H3104 then the priest H3548 shall reckon H2803 (PielPerf) unto him the money H3701 according to H6310 the years H8141 that remain, H3498 (NiphPtc) even unto the year H8141 of the jubile, H3104 and it shall be abated H1639 (NiphPerf) from thy estimation. H6187 [19] And if he that sanctified H6942 (HiphPtc) the field H7704 will in any wise H1350 (QalInf) redeem H1350 (QalImpf) it, then he shall add H3254 (QalPerf) the fifth H2549 part of the money H3701 of thy estimation H6187 unto it, and it shall be assured H6965 (QalPerf) to him. [20] And if he will not redeem H1350 (QalImpf) the field, H7704 or if he have sold H4376 (QalPerf) the field H7704 to another H312 man, H376 it shall not be redeemed H1350 (NiphImpf) any more. [21] But the field, H7704 when it goeth out H3318 (QalInf) in the jubile, H3104 shall be holy H6944 unto the Lord, H3068 as a field H7704 devoted; H2764 the possession H272 thereof shall be the priest’s. H3548 [22] And if a man sanctify H6942 (HiphImpf) unto the Lord H3068 a field H7704 which he hath bought, H4736 which is not of the fields H7704 of his possession; H272 [23] then the priest H3548 shall reckon H2803 (PielPerf) unto him the worth H4373 of thy estimation, H6187 even unto the year H8141 of the jubile: H3104 and he shall give H5414 (QalPerf) thine estimation H6187 in that day, H3117 as a holy thing H6944 unto the Lord. H3068 [24] In the year H8141 of the jubile H3104 the field H7704 shall return H7725 (QalImpf) unto him of whom it was bought, H7069 (QalPerf) even to him to whom the possession H272 of the land H776 did belong. [25] And all thy estimations H6187 shall be according to the shekel H8255 of the sanctuary: H6944 twenty H6242 gerahs H1626 shall be the shekel. H8255 [26] Only the firstling H1060§ of the beasts, H929 which should be the Lord’s H3068 firstling, H1069 (PualImpf) no man H376 shall sanctify H6942 (HiphImpf) it; whether it be ox, H7794 or sheep: H7716 it is the Lord’s. H3068 [27] And if it be of an unclean H2931 beast, H929 then he shall redeem H6299 (QalPerf) it according to thine estimation, H6187 and shall add H3254 (QalPerf) a fifth H2549 part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, H1350 (NiphImpf) then it shall be sold H4376 (NiphPerf) according to thy estimation. H6187 [28] Notwithstanding no devoted thing, H2764 that a man H376 shall devote H2763 (HiphImpf) unto the Lord H3068 of all that he hath, both of man H120 and beast, H929 and of the field H7704 of his possession, H272 shall be sold H4376 (NiphImpf) or redeemed: H1350 (NiphImpf) every devoted thing H2764 is most H6944 holy H6944 unto the Lord. H3068 [29] None devoted, H2764 which shall be H3808 devoted H2763 (HophImpf) of men, H120 shall be redeemed; H6299 (NiphImpf) but shall surely H4191 (QalInf) be put to death. H4191 (HophImpf) [30] And all the tithe H4643 of the land, H776 whether of the seed H2233 of the land, H776 or of the fruit H6529 of the tree, H6086 is the Lord’s: H3068 it is holy H6944 unto the Lord. H3068 [31] And if a man H376 will at all H1350 (QalInf) redeem H1350 (QalImpf) ought of his tithes, H4643 he shall add H3254 (HiphImpf) thereto the fifth H2549 part thereof. [32] And concerning the tithe H4643 of the herd, H1241 or of the flock, H6629 even of whatsoever passeth H5674 (QalImpf) under the rod, H7626 the tenth H6224 shall be holy H6944 unto the Lord. H3068 [33] He shall not search H1239 (PielImpf) whether it be good H2896 or bad, H7451 neither shall he change H4171 (HiphImpf) it: and if he change H4171 (HiphImpf) it at all, H4171 (HiphInf) then both it and the change H8545 thereof shall be holy; H6944 it shall not be redeemed. H1350 (NiphImpf) [34] These are the commandments, H4687 which the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) Moses H4872 for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in mount H2022 Sinai. H5514Footnotes
