| 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. |
