Holman Christian Standard Bible

Leviticus 27:6-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.

10. He may not replace it or make a substitution for it, either good for bad, or bad for good. But if he does substitute one animal for another, both that animal and its substitute will be holy.

11. “If the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the Lord, the animal must be presented before the priest.

12. The priest will set its value, whether high or low; the price will be set as the priest makes the assessment for you.

13. If the one who brought it decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value.

14. “When a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, the priest will assess its value, whether high or low. The price will stand just as the priest assesses it.

15. But if the one who consecrated his house redeems it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and it will be his.

16. “If a man consecrates to the Lord any part of a field that he possesses, your assessment of value will be proportional to the seed needed to sow it, at the rate of 50 silver shekels for every five bushels of barley seed.

17. If he consecrates his field during the Year of Jubilee, the price will stand according to your assessment.

18. But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, the priest will calculate the price for him in proportion to the years left until the next Year of Jubilee, so that your assessment will be reduced.

19. If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him.
