Leviticus 27:2-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.
