Leviticus 27
|
And the Lord said to Moses, | And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord. | Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by thy estimation. |
And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place. | 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. |
And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels. | And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. |
And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female. | 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. |
And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels. | 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. |
And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten. | And if it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. |
But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give. | But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him that vowed shall the priest value him. |
And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy. | And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto Jehovah, all that any man giveth of such unto Jehovah shall be holy. |
It may not be changed in any way, a good given for a bad, or a bad for a good; if one beast is changed for another, the two will be holy. | 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 both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. |
And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest; | And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation unto Jehovah, then he shall set the beast before the priest; |
And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be. | and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be. |
But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value. | But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. |
And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed. | And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto Jehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand. |
And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his. | 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. |
And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver. | And if a man shall sanctify unto Jehovah part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing thereof: the sowing of a homer of barley [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver. |
If he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your decision. | If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand. |
But if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your value. | But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from thy estimation. |
And if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his. | And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. |
But if he has no desire to get it back, or if he has given it for a price to another man, it may not be got back again. | 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: |
But the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the priest. | but the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto Jehovah, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's. |
And if a man gives to the Lord a field which he has got for money from another, which is not part of his heritage; | And if he sanctify unto Jehovah a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession; |
Then the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy to the Lord. | then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto Jehovah. |
In the year of Jubilee the field will go back to him from whom he got it, that is, to him whose heritage it was. | In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth. |
And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel. | And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. |
But a man may not give by oath to the Lord the first-fruits of cattle which are offered to the Lord: if it is an ox or a sheep it is the Lord's. | Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to Jehovah, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's. |
And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing. | And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. |
But nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most holy to the Lord. | Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto Jehovah of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto Jehovah. |
Any man given completely to the Lord may not be got back: he is certainly to be put to death. | No one devoted, that shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death. |
And every tenth part of the land, of the seed planted, or of the fruit of trees, is holy to the Lord. | And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's: it is holy unto Jehovah. |
And if a man has a desire to get back any of the tenth part which he has given, let him give a fifth more. | And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof. |
And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord. | And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Jehovah. |
He may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it; and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not get them back again. | 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 that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. |
These are the orders which the Lord gave to Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai. | These are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. |
