Rules concerning Valuations |
|
|
 |
| Leviticus 27:1 |
|
Again, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:2 |
|
"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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 27:3 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 27:4 |
|
Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall
be thirty shekels. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 27:5 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 27:6 |
|
But 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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 27:7 |
|
If 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:8 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:9 |
|
'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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:11 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:12 |
|
The priest shall value it as either good or
bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:13 |
|
But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then
he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:14 |
|
'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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:15 |
|
Yet 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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:16 |
|
'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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:17 |
|
If he consecrates his field as of the year of
jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:18 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:19 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 27:20 |
|
Yet if he will not redeem the field, but has
sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed; |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 27:21 |
|
and 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:22 |
|
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, |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:23 |
|
then 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:24 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:25 |
|
Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be
after the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:26 |
|
'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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:27 |
|
But 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:28 |
|
'Nevertheless, anything which a man tsets 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:29 |
|
No one who may have been set apart among men
shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:30 |
|
'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. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:31 |
|
If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of
his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:32 |
|
For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever
passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:33 |
|
He 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.'" |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 27:34 |
|
These are the commandments which the LORD commanded
Moses for the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai. |
