1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When someone makes a special vow to the Lord that involves the assessment of people,
3. if the assessment concerns a male from 20 to 60 years old, your assessment is 50 silver shekels measured by the standard sanctuary shekel.
4. If the person is a female, your assessment is 30 shekels.
5. If the person is from five to 20 years old, your assessment for a male is 20 shekels and for a female 10 shekels.
6. If the person is from one month to five years old, your assessment for a male is five silver shekels, and for a female your assessment is three shekels of silver.
7. If the person is 60 years or more, your assessment is 15 shekels for a male and 10 shekels for a female.
8. But if one is too poor to pay the assessment, he must present the person before the priest and the priest will set a value for him. The priest will set a value for him according to what the one making the vow can afford.
9. “If the vow involves one of the animals that may be brought as an offering to the Lord, any of these he gives to the Lord will be holy.
