Leviticus 27 (WEBP)

[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.

Young’s Literal Translation

Leviticus 27 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[2] ‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man maketh a wonderful vow, by thy valuation the persons are Jehovah’s.
[3] When thy valuation hath been of the male from a son of twenty years even unto a son of sixty years, then hath been thy valuation fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the sanctuary.
[4] And if it is a female-then hath thy valuation been thirty shekels;
[5] and if from a son of five years even unto a son of twenty years-then hath thy valuation been of the male twenty shekels, and for the female, ten shekels;
[6] and if from a son of a month even unto a son of five years-then hath thy valuation been of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation is three shekels of silver;
[7] and if from a son of sixty years and above-if a male, then hath thy valuation been fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten shekels.
[8] ‘And if he is poorer than thy valuation, then he hath presented himself before the priest, and the priest hath valued him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing doth reach doth the priest value him.
[9] ‘And if it is a beast of which they bring near an offering to Jehovah, all that one giveth of it to Jehovah is holy;
[10] he doth not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he really change beast for beast,-then it hath been-it and its exchange is holy.
[11] ‘And if it is any unclean beast of which they do not bring near an offering to Jehovah, then he hath presented the beast before the priest,
[12] and the priest hath valued it; whether good or bad, according to thy valuation, O priest, so it is;
[13] and if he really redeem it, then he hath added its fifth to thy valuation.
[14] ‘And when a man sanctifieth his house, a holy thing to Jehovah, then hath the priest valued it, whether good or bad; as the priest doth value it so it standeth;
[15] and if he who is sanctifying doth redeem his house, then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath become his.
[16] ‘And if of the field of his possession a man sanctify to Jehovah, then hath thy valuation been according to its seed; a homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver;
[17] if from the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field, according to thy valuation it standeth;
[18] and if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then hath the priest reckoned to him the money according to the years which are left, unto the year of the jubilee, and it hath been abated from thy valuation.
[19] ‘And if he really redeem the field-he who is sanctifying it-then he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and it hath been established to him;
[20] and if he do not redeem the field, or if he hath sold the field to another man, it is not redeemed any more;
[21] and the field hath been, in its going out in the jubilee, holy to Jehovah as a field which is devoted; to the priest is its possession.
[22] ‘And if the field of his purchase (which is not of the fields of his possession) one sanctify to Jehovah-
[23] then hath the priest reckoned to him the amount of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee, and he hath given thy valuation in that day-a holy thing to Jehovah;
[24] in the year of the jubilee the field returneth to him from whom he bought it, to him whose is the possession of the land.
[25] And all thy valuation is by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs is the shekel.
[26] ‘Only, a firstling which is Jehovah’s firstling among beasts-no man doth sanctify it, whether ox or sheep; it is Jehovah’s.
[27] And if among the unclean beasts, then he hath ransomed it at thy valuation, and he hath added its fifth to it; and if it is not redeemed, then it hath been sold at thy valuation.
[28] ‘Only, no devoted thing which a man devoteth to Jehovah, of all that he hath, of man, and beast, and of the field of his possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most holy to Jehovah.
[29] ‘No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed, it is surely put to death.
[30] And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah’s-holy to Jehovah.
[31] ‘And if a man really redeem any of his tithe, its fifth he addeth to it.
[32] ‘And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock-all that passeth by under the rod-the tenth is holy to Jehovah;
[33] he enquireth not between good and bad, nor doth he change it; and if he really change it-then it hath been-it and its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.’
[34] These are the commands which Jehovah hath commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai.
