Chapter 27 |
| 1 | And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
2 | Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for
the LORD by thy estimation. |
|
3 | And thy estimation shall be of the male
from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be
fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. |
| 4 | And if it
be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. |
| 5 | And if it
be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be
of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. |
| 6 | And if it
be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of
the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be
three shekels of silver. |
| 7 | And if it be from sixty years old and above;
if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the
female ten shekels. |
| 8 | But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then
he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him;
according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him. |
| 9 | And if
it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man
giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy. |
|
10 | He shall not alter it,
nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all
change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
|
| 11 | And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice
unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest: |
| 12 |
And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it,
who art the priest, so shall it be. |
| 13 | But if he will at all redeem
it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. |
| 14 | And
when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest
shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it,
so shall it stand. |
| 15 | And if he that sanctified it will redeem his
house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it,
and it shall be his. |
| 16 | And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD
some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according
to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels
of silver. |
| 17
| If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee,
according to thy estimation it shall stand. |
|
18 | But if he sanctify his
field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money
according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it
shall be abated from thy estimation. |
| 19 | And if he that sanctified the
field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money
of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. |
| 20 | And if
he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it
shall not be redeemed any more. |
| 21 | But the field, when it goeth
out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the
possession thereof shall be the priest's. |
|
22 | And if a man sanctify unto
the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his
possession; |
|
23 | Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of
thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thine
estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD. |
| 24 | In the year
of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to
him to whom the possession of the land did belong. |
| 25 | And all thy
estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs
shall be the shekel. |
| 26 | Only the firstling of the beasts, which
should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or
sheep: it is the LORD's. |
|
27 | And if it be of an unclean beast, then
he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of
it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy
estimation. |
|
28 | Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall
devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the
field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most
holy unto the LORD. |
| 29 | None devoted, which shall be devoted of men,
shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. |
| 30 | And all the
tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the
tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD. |
| 31 | And if a man
will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part
thereof. |
| 32
| And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock,
even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the
LORD. |
| 33 |
He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall
he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof
shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. |
|
34 | These are the
commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in
mount Sinai. |
