Leviticus 27

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

The Lord passionately communicated with Moses, expressing,

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.

Speak to the people of Israel and tell them, when someone makes a special promise to dedicate a person to the Lord, that person's worth is set by the value you assess.

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.

The value you assign to a man, aged between twenty and sixty, should be fifty sanctuary shekels of silver.

And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.

If the subject is a woman, then her value is set at thirty silver coins.

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.

If the person is between five and twenty years old, then the value set will be twenty shekels for a boy and ten shekels for a girl.

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.

If the child is between one month and five years old, value the boy at five silver coins and the girl at three silver coins.

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.

If the person is sixty years or older, a man is valued at fifteen shekels, and a woman at ten shekels.

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.

If he is too poor to pay your valuation, he should bring the person before the priest. The priest will set the value according to what the one who made the vow can afford.

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.

If you offer an animal of a kind that may be offered to God, know that whatever you give of it to him will be sacred.

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.

He must not swap or modify, not a good for a bad, nor a bad for a good. Even if he tries to exchange one animal for another, both the original and the replacement will be sacred.

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:

If there's an impure animal not typically offered to God, it should be brought before the priest.

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.

The priest will assess its worth, be it good or bad. As the priest perceives it, so it will be.

But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.

But if he truly wishes to reclaim it, he must add an extra 20% to your valuation.

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.

When a man dedicates his home to God, the priest will determine its worth, good or bad. The priest's judgment will be final.

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.

If the one who dedicated his home to the Lord decides to buy it back, he must add a fifth of your assessed value to the price, and then it will truly belong to him.

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.

If a man dedicates part of his land to God, its worth will be measured by the amount of barley seed needed to sow it, with a homer of barley seed valued at fifty silver shekels.

If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.

If he dedicates his land during the jubilee year, your valuation will remain as is.

But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.

If he dedicates his land after the jubilee, the priest will calculate its value based on the remaining years until the next jubilee. This will reduce the land's estimated worth.

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.

If the person who made the field sacred wants to buy it back, he must add an extra fifth of your estimated price, and then it's guaranteed to be his.

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.

If he chooses not to reclaim the land, or if he's already sold it to someone else, then it can't be bought back.

But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s.

When the land is set free in the jubilee, it becomes sacred to God, like a dedicated field. Its ownership then belongs to the priest.

And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;

If a man dedicates a purchased field to God, one that isn't part of his own land,

Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

The priest will calculate the value of your offering up to the jubilee year and on that day, your offering will be given as a sacred gift to the Lord.

In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

When the jubilee year comes, the land will go back to its original owner, the one who truly owned it.

And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

All your values should align with the sacred standard: a shekel is worth twenty gerahs.

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.

The firstborn of every animal, which is meant to be God's, cannot be made holy by any man. Be it a cow or a sheep, it belongs to God alone.

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.

If the animal is impure, you can buy it back at your set price, plus an extra 20%. If you choose not to buy it back, it will be sold at your set price.

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.

But nothing a man devotes to God from all he owns, whether a person, an animal, or his family land, may ever be sold or bought back. Everything so devoted is most holy to the Lord.

None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

No person devoted to destruction can be bought back; he must surely be put to death.

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.

Every tenth part of the land's produce, be it grain or fruit, belongs to the LORD. It's sacred to Him.

And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.

If a man chooses to buy back any of his donated portion, he must add an extra twenty percent to it.

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.

For every ten animals in your herd or flock, one must be set aside as a sacred offering to the Lord.

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.

He must not pick the good animals from the poor ones, nor swap one for another. If he does swap them, both the original and its replacement will be sacred; they can't be bought back.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

These are the heartfelt instructions that the LORD passionately gave to Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.
