Leviticus 27:1-18 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. AND THE Lord said to Moses,

2. Say to the Israelites, When a man shall make a special vow of persons to the Lord at your valuation,

3. Then your valuation of a male from twenty years old to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

4. And if the person is a female, your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

5. And if the person is from five years old up to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

6. And if a child is from a month up to five years old, then your valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver and for the female three shekels.

7. And if the person is from sixty years old and above, if it be a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels and for the female ten shekels.

8. But if the man is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.

9. If it is a beast of which men offer an offering to the Lord, all that any man gives of such to the Lord shall be holy.

10. He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he makes any exchange of a beast for a beast, then both the original offering and that exchanged for it shall be holy.

11. If it is an unclean animal, such as is not offered as an offering to the Lord, he shall bring the animal before the priest,

12. And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so shall it be.

13. But if he wishes to redeem it, he shall add a fifth to your valuation.

14. If a man dedicates his house to be sacred to the Lord, the priest shall appraise it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest appraises it, so shall it stand.

15. If he who dedicates his house wants to redeem it, he shall add a fifth of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

16. And if a man shall dedicate to the Lord some part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed [required] for it; [a sowing of] a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

17. If he dedicates his field during the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand according to your full valuation.

18. But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall count the money value in proportion to the years that remain until the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.
