LEVITICUS
Chapter 27
Levi | LEB | 27:2 | “Speak to the ⌞Israelites⌟, and say to them, ‘When a man makes a vow according to your proper value of persons to Yahweh, | |
Levi | LEB | 27:3 | if your proper value is for a male from ⌞twenty years of age⌟ up to ⌞sixty years of age⌟, then your proper value shall be fifty shekels of money according to the sanctuary’s shekel. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:5 | And if from ⌞five years of age⌟ up to ⌞twenty years of age⌟, then your proper value shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:6 | And if from ⌞a month of age⌟ up to ⌞five years of age⌟, then your proper value shall be five shekels of money for the male, and your proper value for the female shall be three shekels of money. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:7 | And if from ⌞sixty years of age⌟ and above: if a male, then your proper value shall be fifteen shekels; and for the female, ten shekels. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:8 | But if he is poorer than your proper value, then he shall present himself ⌞before⌟ the priest, and the priest shall set a value on him; the priest shall value him ⌞according to⌟ what the person who made a vow ⌞can afford⌟. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:9 | “ ‘And if it is a domestic animal from which they present an offering for Yahweh, all that he gives from it for Yahweh shall be a holy object. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:10 | He shall not replace it, nor shall he exchange it, either good with bad or bad with good; and if he indeed exchanges a domestic animal with a domestic animal, then ⌞it and its substitution shall be a holy object⌟. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:11 | But if it is any unclean animal from which they may not present an offering for Yahweh, then he shall present the animal ⌞before⌟ the priest. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:12 | And the priest shall set a value on it, ⌞either good or bad⌟; as the priest sets your proper value, so it shall be. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:13 | And if he indeed wants to redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of it onto your proper value. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:14 | “ ‘And if a man consecrates his house as a holy object for Yahweh, then the priest shall set a value on it, ⌞either good or bad⌟; just as the priest sets a value on it, so it shall remain. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:15 | But if the one who consecrates it wants to redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall be his. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:16 | “ ‘And if a man consecrates ⌞some of⌟ his property’s fields for Yahweh, then your proper value shall be ⌞in accordance with its seed requirements⌟: a homer of barley seed for fifty shekels of money. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:17 | If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand as your proper value. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:18 | But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money for him ⌞according to the number of years⌟ that are left over until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your proper value. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:19 | And if he indeed redeems the field that is consecrated, then he shall add a fifth of your proper value’s money onto it, and it shall stand for him. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:20 | And if he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another man, it may not be redeemed again, | |
Levi | LEB | 27:21 | and the field shall be a holy object for Yahweh when it goes out in the Jubilee, like a devoted field; ⌞it shall be the priest’s property⌟. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:22 | “ ‘And if he consecrates for Yahweh his acquired field that is not the field of his inherited possession, | |
Levi | LEB | 27:23 | then the priest shall calculate for him the ⌞amount⌟ of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day as a holy object for Yahweh. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:24 | In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land is. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:25 | And every proper value of yours shall be in the sanctuary’s shekel—the shekel shall be twenty gerahs. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:26 | “ ‘However, a man shall not consecrate a firstborn among livestock, which belongs as firstborn to Yahweh; whether an ox ⌞or⌟ small livestock, it is for Yahweh. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:27 | And if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall ransom it according to your proper value, and he shall add a fifth of its value onto it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your proper value. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:28 | However, anything devoted that a man has devoted to Yahweh ⌞from all that he has⌟, from human or animal, or from the field of his property, may not be sold, and it may not be redeemed; anything devoted is ⌞a most holy thing⌟ for Yahweh. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:29 | Anyone devoted who is devoted from ⌞human beings⌟ cannot be ransomed—he shall surely be put to death. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:30 | “ ‘And any tithe of the land from the land’s seed or from the fruit of the trees is for Yahweh; it is a holy object for Yahweh. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:31 | And if a man indeed redeems from his tithe, he shall add a fifth of its value onto it. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:32 | As for every tithe of cattle or of the flock, all which crosses under the rod, the tenth shall be a holy object for Yahweh. | |
Levi | LEB | 27:33 | He shall not inspect between the good and the bad, and he shall not exchange it; but if he indeed exchanges it, then ⌞it and its substitution shall be⌟ a holy object—it shall not be redeemed.’ ” | |
