1And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to the children of Israel. And you shall say to them: When a man will express a vow by your appraisal of persons for YHWH, 3then your appraisal shall be:
“A male from twenty years old up to sixty years old: then your appraisal shall be fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the Holy. 4And if it is a female, then your appraisal shall be thirty shekels. 5And if one is from five years old up to twenty years old, then your appraisal for a male shall be twenty shekels and for a female ten shekels. 6And if one is from a month old up to five years old, then your appraisal for a male shall be five shekels of silver and your appraisal for a female three shekels. 7And if one is from sixty years old and up, if a male then your appraisal shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 8And if he is lower than your estimate, then one shall stand him in front of the priest, and the priest shall appraise him. The priest shall appraise him on the basis of what the hand of the one making the vow can attain.
9“And if it is an animal from which people would bring an offering to YHWH, everything that he will give of it to YHWH will be a holy thing. 10And he shall not exchange it and shall not trade it, good for bad or bad for good; and if he does trade an animal for an animal, then both it and the one traded for it shall be a holy thing. 11And if it is any impure animal, from which people would not bring an offering to YHWH, then he shall stand the animal in front of the priest, 12and the priest shall appraise it. Whether good or bad: according to your appraisal by the priest, so it shall be. 13And if he will redeem it, then he shall add a fifth of it to your appraisal.
14“And when a man will consecrate his house to be a holy thing to YHWH, then the priest shall appraise it. Whether good or bad: as the priest will appraise it, so it shall stand. 15And if the one who consecrates it will redeem his house, then he shall add a fifth of the money of your appraisal to it, and it shall be his.
l6“And if a man will consecrate any of a field of his possession to YHWH, then your appraisal shall be on the basis of its seed: the seed of a homer of barley at fifty shekels of silver. 17If he will consecrate his field from the jubilee year, it shall stand according to your appraisal; l8and if he will consecrate his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall figure the money for him on the basis of the years that are left until the jubilee year, and it shall be subtracted from your appraisal. 19And if the one who consecrates it will redeem the field, then he shall add a fifth of the money of your appraisal to it, and it will stand as his. 20And if he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore. 21And when it goes out in the jubilee, the field shall be a holy thing to YHWH, like a devoted field; his possession shall be the priest’s.
22“And if he will consecrate any of a field that he has bought, that is not from a field of his possession, to YHWH, 23then the priest shall figure for him the count of your appraisal up to the jubilee year, and he shall give your appraisal on that day, a holy thing to YHWH. 24In the jubilee year the field shall go back to the one from whom it was bought, to the one to whom the possession of the land belongs. 25And all of your appraisal shall be by the shekel of the Holy. (The shekel shall be twenty gerah.)
26“Except: a firstling of the animals—which as a firstling is committed to YHWH—no man shall consecrate it. Whether an ox or a sheep, it is YHWH’s. 27And if it is of the impure animals, then he shall redeem it at your appraisal, and he shall add to it a fifth of it. And if it will not be redeemed then it shall be sold at your appraisal.
28“Except: any devoted thing that a man will devote to YHWH from anything that he has—from human or animal or from a field of his possession — shall not be sold and shall not be redeemed. Any devoted thing: it is a holy of holies to YHWH. 29Anyone who will be devoted from humans shall not be redeemed. He shall be put to death.
30“And all the tithe of the land, from the land’s seed, from the tree’s fruit: it is YHWH’s, a holy thing to YHWH. 31And if a man will redeem some of his tithe, he shall add to it a fifth of it. 32And all the tithe of a herd or a flock, everything that passes under the rod: the tenth shall be a holy thing to YHWH. 33He shall not inspect it either for good or for bad. And he shall not trade it. And if he will trade it, then both it and the one traded for it shall be a holy thing. It shall not be redeemed.”
34These are the commandments that YHWH commanded Moses for the children of Israel in Mount Sinai.
